Mr Crosbie, 39, from Dublin, is charged with raping a woman at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston on March 15, 2024.

He has pleaded not guilty and has been behind bars at Suffolk County Jail since his arrest last year while awaiting trial in Suffolk Superior Court.

His trial heard he was interviewed at the hotel the day after the alleged incident.

In an audio recording played for the court, Mr Crosbie said: “What is the investigation about?... If I'm being accused of something I'd like to know.”

The court heard Mr Crosbie's first interview with detectives took place after a woman, now 29, attended Massachusetts General Hospital and said she was sexually assaulted at the hotel.
