Accused of sexual assault, a firefighter with the Dublin Fire Brigad was taken into custody Saturday night as he tred to leave the country.
Terrence Crosbie, 37, who was in Boston for St. Patrick's Day, reportedly sexually assaulted a 28-year-old woman at a downtown hotel, WBZ reported.
"After being interviewed by police on Saturday, Crosbie booked a flight for 10:10 p.m. that night, days before his scheduled departure date. At the airport, Crosbie boarded an even earlier flight, departing at around 7 p.m. State police stopped the plane on the Logan tarmac and removed Crosbie," according to a statement from Suffolk County District Attorney.
He was charged with rape. Bail was set at $100,000 and he was ordered to surrender his passport. If released, he was told not the leave Massachusetts.
Crosbie flew to Boston from Ireland on Thursday with other members of the Dublin Fire Brigade and was scheduled to leave on Tuesday, investigators said.
