Dublin Firefighter Terence Crosbie Gets 7 to 9 Years for Boston Hotel Rape

The Suffolk Superior Court sentence follows a unanimous guilty verdict at a retrial after a June mistrial.

Overview

  • Judge Joshua Wall called the assault an act of “extraordinary violence” and ordered a seven-to-nine-year state prison term with credit for time already served.
  • Prosecutor Erin Murphy sought a nine- to twelve-year term and described the attack as a “blitzkrieg” inside the hotel room, while the court designated custody at Souza Baranowski Correctional Center.
  • The victim told the court she continues to struggle to heal and asked the judge to consider the lasting impact on her life and work.
  • Jurors convicted after hearing testimony about key-card records and timelines from the Omni Parker House and hospital evidence, even as DNA testing was reported as inconclusive.
  • Massachusetts State Police previously removed Crosbie from a plane at Logan Airport, he has remained in custody since his 2024 arrest, and his lawyers say they will appeal.
