A former Massachusetts prosecutor once named one of the nation’s most eligible bachelors has been charged with rape for the fourth time in a decade. Gary Zerola, 45, was charged with sexually assaulting a woman in a Boston condo earlier this month.
Zerola, who left the prosecutor’s office to work as a defense attorney, has faced rape accusations three times before in the past 10 years. In 2006, he was accused of raping two women inside his Boston apartment, but was later found not guilty on both accounts. A year later, he was accused of raping a woman while he visited Miami.
Those charges were dropped, but less than a week later, he was charged for allegedly urinating in public, slapping a cop and trying to run away from the officer. A jury cleared him of the assault charges on the cop.
In the most recent rape allegation, Zerola is accused of sexually assaulting a woman he knew after he brought her and her friend back to a Beacon Hill condominium. Prosecutors claimed the 45-year-old raped the unidentified victim as her friend slept nearby.
His attorney claimed the allegations are false, and questioned how the woman’s friend could sleep through the alleged sexual assault. Yeah, something is not right here.
