Ex-Hygiene Fire Captain Convicted on 13 Counts in Sexual Assaults of Five Victims

Jurors accepted prosecutors’ account that he leveraged his firehouse authority to target young women, with sentencing set for Feb. 27, 2026.

Overview

  • Prosecutors said the offenses occurred from 2018 to 2021 and involved five victims, including two teenagers, with three of the women serving as his subordinates.
  • Investigators reported recovering hundreds of explicit photos and videos from Barnaby’s phone and presented evidence he sent nude images to the victims.
  • Prosecutors said many assaults took place inside the fire station or on its property, and some incidents occurred while he was on duty.
