Overview
- The judge imposed a seven- to nine-year Massachusetts state prison term at Crosbie’s sentencing on Thursday in Boston.
- The accuser texted a friend within minutes of leaving the hotel and went to Massachusetts General Hospital for a rape exam that detected male DNA not matched to Crosbie, according to testimony and records.
- Prosecutors pointed to the woman’s account and hotel evidence to identify Crosbie, while the defense argued he never touched her and said he got into an empty bed.
- Crosbie traveled from Dublin with fellow firefighters, and the woman testified she fell asleep in a second bed after consensual sex with his roommate, Liam O’Brien.
- The judge excluded a 2017 social-media post prosecutors sought to use to show state of mind, and jurors did not see it as later media reports disclosed its contents.
