- Chelsea registered sex offender accused of possessing images of child sex abuseby Thea DiGiammerino on March 18, 2024 at 7:47 pm
A Chelsea, Massachusetts, man who is already registered as a sex offender was arraigned on a child pornography charge Monday as part of an ongoing investigation prompted by a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Timothy Brown, 38, was arraigned on one count of possession of child pornography. His bail was set at $10,000. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said the investigation began due to a cyber tip provided by Yahoo to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip reported an email sent by a user with photos attached. The photos showed a child getting undressed. Yahoo also provided data on the IP address that accessed the picture files and dates and times that the email was sent and the account was accessed. The tip was referred to Massachusetts State Police, and the department began investigating. Another man, identified as Kenneth Higgins, of Revere, was arrested on March 13 on the same charge. Higgins is also a registered sex offender, according to police. The DA said Higgins was identified through the email address and Brown was identified as using the IP address that accessed the email account. In a cellphone found in Brown’s home, investigators found a folder titled “13-17 year old females” with 600 images believed to be child sex abuse, according to the DA. Overall, they found 2,700 images of suspected child sex abuse on the device. Brown is a registered Level 2 sex offender. He was convicted in 2015 of indecent assault and battery on child under 14 years of age. “This investigation provides an excellent example of a tech company flagging a serious crime for law enforcement and then investigators from State Police and our human trafficking and exploitation unit following that lead directly to these two individuals. This should make clear to anyone who contributes in any way to the sexual exploitation of children that they are likely to be caught and brought to justice,” District Attorney Kevin Hayden said Get updates on what’s happening in Boston to your inbox.

- Marking the 34th anniversary of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heistby Abbey Niezgoda on March 18, 2024 at 6:55 pm
This week marks 34 years since 13 works were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The unsolved case still haunts Boston to this day, but even as the decades pass, investigators have not given up on locating the paintings and solving the mystery. It was the largest art heist in the world. Anthony Amore, the director of the museum’s security, said tips continue to pour in about the case, with people constantly reporting possible sightings of the stolen works. He said they got roughly 20 tips in the last year from people who thought they spotted the missing art in Zillow listings. “I think it’s incredibly unlikely they’re hiding in plain sight,” Amore said. He said the $10 million private reward that the museum is offering for information that leads to the paintings still stands and he hopes to pay it soon. He said the time that has passed since the heist could actually turn out to work in their favor. “These things are recovered very often after a number of decades because a scary person involved dies or isn’t scary anymore,” Amore said. A key witness at the center of the case passed away last month. Richard Abath, the former guard who opened the door for the thieves responsible for the heist, died after a long illness. He maintained his innocence but was constantly questioned by investigators who thought the heist was an inside job. Former assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Fisher spent years investigating the case. He said deaths like that could be a loss for the investigation, but could also lead to a break in the case. “Whenever that happens, there is hope that somebody who was maybe holding back some information that would implicate a loved one, a family member or a criminal associate would then come forward,” Fisher said. Back at the museum, officials said they are no longer concerned with prosecution. Their only goal is to fill the missing frames with the art that was taken. “Where are they right now? The people who know where they are right now, I believe, are still with us. Somebody has information.” Amore said. All tips can remain anonymous and can be reported to the Gardner Museum directly at this link.

- Irish firefighter in Boston for St. Patrick's Day charged with rapeby Mike Pescaro on March 18, 2024 at 6:11 pm
A first responder in Ireland’s largest city is accused of raping a woman in Boston, where he traveled for St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The office of Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said Monday that 37-year-old Terrence Crosbie of Dublin has been charged with rape. Prosecutors identified Crosbie as a member of the Dublin Fire Brigade, explaining that he flew in with fellow members Thursday. A 28-year-old woman told Boston police she had been assaulted at the famed Omni Parker House hotel on School Street Friday morning, prosecutors said. Surveillance video showed Crosbie and the victim at the hotel and the Black Rose bar on State Street Thursday evening, according to the district attorney’s office. Authorities say Crosbie was initially scheduled to return to Ireland Tuesday, but booked a flight for 10:10 p.m. Saturday after police interviewed him earlier in the day. He allegedly boarded an even earlier flight that was set to leave Logan International Airport around 7 p.m. before state police stopped the plane and removed him. “As always in these matters, the willingness of the victim to come forward is crucial,” Hayden said in a statement. “This victim deserves enormous credit for doing that in this case. I’m grateful for the alertness of police in finding out that Mr. Crosbie was attempting to leave the country before he could be held accountable for his actions.” Appearing in Boston Municipal Court Monday, Crosbie was ordered held on $100,000 bail. He was ordered to surrender his passport and not leave Massachusetts. Crosbie is due back in court for a probable cause hearing April 16.
