PICTURED: Married Irish firefighter dad-of-two, 37, accused of raping sleeping woman, 28, in Boston hotel after St Patrick’s Day parade while saying ‘I know you want this’

This is the married Irish firefighter and father of two accused of raping a sleeping 28-year-old woman in Boston during St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Terrence Crosbie, 37, flew with other members of the Dublin Fire Department to Massachusetts on Thursday and was arrested on Saturday as he allegedly tried to flee the country following a police interrogation in connection with the attack.

The alleged victim told police she met one of Crosbie’s friends at The Black Rose restaurant and bar, and the two returned to the Omni Parker House hotel room the man shared with Crosbie.

The woman said she had consensual sex with Crosbie’s boyfriend, and that Crosbie was not in the room, according to court documents seen by News center 5.

Crosbie was reportedly seen on surveillance footage entering the hotel room about two hours later. He then allegedly sexually assaulted the woman, who told police to stop, but he said, “This man is sleeping. I know you want this.”

The alleged victim told police Friday at Massachusetts General Hospital that she had been sexually assaulted earlier that same day at the Omni Parker House by a member of the Dublin Fire Department.

Crosbie has been charged with rape and is being held on $100,000 bail.

If he posts bail, he will be ordered not to leave the state of Massachusetts and his passport will be confiscated.

The firefighter’s social media accounts show a husband and father who appears to be an active member of the Dublin community.

He posted a photo of his passport next to a beer on his now-deleted X account on Thursday when he traveled to the US with his colleagues.

It appears his wife Ciara was staying in Dublin with their two daughters.

‘As always in these cases, the willingness of the victim to come forward is crucial. This victim deserves tremendous credit for doing that in this case,” said Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden.

“I am grateful for the alertness of the police when they became aware that Mr. Crosbie was attempting to leave the country before he could be held accountable for his actions.”

Officials said Crosbie was due to return to Dublin on Tuesday after arriving with his colleagues on Thursday, but had booked a flight for 10.10pm following his interview with police on Saturday.

He then boarded an even earlier flight from Logan International Airport around 7 p.m.

Crosbie is due back in court on April 16.

Dublin Fire Brigade said on Tuesday he had been placed on leave.

They said in a statement: ‘We cannot comment on the specific circumstances, but we would like to reiterate the high standards we expect from anyone who represents our organization at any event.

“As a result, in cooperation with the competent authorities and the organizers of the delegation, we are conducting an internal investigation and establishing the facts. As this is a criminal investigation, we will have no further comment at this time.”
