Woman messaged pal after alleged attack

- BY ALEX SHIPMAN

THE woman who accused Irishman Terence Crosbie of rape, texted her friend minutes after the alleged attack, saying, "I hate everyone, what the f*** is wrong with people?," a court has heard.

The woman, 29, was working for a Boston legal clinic at the time of the alleged attack and had been attending a work event earlier in the afternoon.

She and a few coworkers decided to continue the night at the Black Rose pub, where she met Liam O'Brien and Crosbie.

Crosbie, 39, is charged with rape. He has pleaded not guilty.

The alleged victim told Suffolk Superior Court in Boston that O'Brien introduced her to the people he was with, three or four of whom were wearing similar T-shirts and sweatshirts, showing they were Dublin firefighters.
