A former Boston lawyer and prosecutor, who was once named one of People magazine’s most eligible bachelors, has been sentenced to between five and 10 years in state prison for rape. The 52-year-old man was found guilty last month after a jury deliberated for five hours and has been incarcerated since then. He was acquitted of a greater charge of aggravated rape and burglary.
Prosecutors revealed that in January 2021, the man paid over $2,000 for a night of drinking with a woman he was dating and her 21-year-old friend who had just graduated from college. The friend became intoxicated and had to be assisted back to her Beacon Hill apartment. Subsequently, the man entered the apartment without permission and sexually assaulted the woman around 2 a.m. while she was sleeping.
