'Unreported rape capital of Europe be worth a trip'

DEPRAVED firefighter Terence Crosbie previously said it was “worth a trip” to Stockholm in Sweden because there are “6ft blondes” and it’s the “most unreported rape capital of Europe”.

The sickening declaration can now be unveiled after the twisted firefighter was convicted last week of raping a woman in a Boston hotel room in March 2024.

Crosbie, 39, will be sentenced today and faces up to 20 years in prison.

Crosbie, who worked for the Dublin Fire Brigade, posted the sickening message to his Twitter (now X) account on April 20, 2017, which appears to reference the upcoming Europa League final, being held in the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, the following month.

Writing under the X handle “DubKid86”, which has since been deleted, he said: “6ft blondes & most unreported rape capital of Europe sure even if it's Vigo vs Lyon be worth a trip.

The prosecution had applied for the tweet to be admitted as evidence but it was ultimately not permitted and the jury never heard it.

As part of their submission, the prosecution said: “The evidence is admissible to show the defendant's motive and intent and is more probative than prejudicial.

“It is anticipated that if the defendant testifies, he will deny any role in the rape of (INITIALS OF VICTIM GIVEN) and claim either third-party culprit or fabrication.”
