Gary Zerola is a criminal defense attorney who has served as a prosecutor in Massachusetts. Reports NBC Boston
Gary Zerola, a 49-year-old listed as being from Boston and Salem, had also been wanted for allegedly breaking and entering, according to Boston police. He turned himself in at a police station.
Police didn’t give further details about what Zerola is accused of that prompted the warrant from Boston Municipal Court. He was arrested about 12:50 p.m. Friday — two days after police said they were looking for him in a white SUV.
Zerola appeared in court Friday afternoon.
“The allegations in this case are absurd, the allegations in this case are paper thin,” said Zerola’s lawyer, Joseph Krowski Jr., outside of court.
Zerola is a criminal defense attorney who has served as a prosecutor in Massachusetts and was once listed by People Magazine as a top bachelor.
He has faced rape charges several times. He was acquitted of two charges in Boston in 2008, and had a rape charge from Florida dropped as well.
In 2016, Zerola was again charged in Massachusetts with two counts of rape, which his attorney said were “based upon a foundation of lies and we vigorously look forward to our day in court.”
The Boston Globe reported that Zerola is still awaiting trial in that case.
