Gary Zerola was named one of People magazine’s most eligible bachelors. A prominent criminal defense attorney in Boston, who worked as a state prosecutor on child abuse and domestic violence cases prior to venturing into his own practice.
Zerola was also well known in his philanthropic circles as an advocate for foster children and he was regularly mentioned in newspapers. He graduated from Suffolk University, where he earned degrees in law and public administration.
Unfortunately, these days Zerola awaits back-to-back trials for the alleged rape of two women. In the 2004 case, Zerola stands accused of repeatedly raping a woman in his apartment. In the 2006 case, he is accused of raping the woman after she turned down his sexual advances.
It looks like Zerola’s attorney, Janice Bassil, has her work cut out for her.
