BOSTON (WHDH) - Jury selection was underway Thursday in the trial of an Irish firefighter accused of a sexual assault at a Boston hotel.
Prosecutors say 38-year-old Terence Crosbie flew to Boston from Ireland last year, with members of a fire brigade, over St. Patrick’s Day weekend.
Crosbie is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at the Omni Parker House.
Prosecutors say he attempted to leave the country the next day following a meeting with investigators. He was arrested at Boston’s Logan International Airport on a plane that was about to take off.
Crosbie has been charged with one count of rape. He has pleaded not guilty.
