Update: Gary Zerola, Arrested for Alleged Public Peeing
Some people just can’t stay out of trouble. As soon as they get out of one scrape, they find themselves in another.
Take Gary Zerola, the dashing ex-prosecutor who was once named a “Most Eligible Bachelor” by People magazine. We named him Lawyer of the Day back in October 2007, after he was arrested in Miami for allegedly drugging and raping a college student.
As we previously reported, Zerola went to trial on rape charges in a different case and prevailed. In a second rape case, he was acquitted again. Charges in a third case, the Miami matter we originally wrote about, were dropped.
Now Gary Zerola is back in the news. From the Boston Globe:
Gary Zerola, a former prosecutor who was acquitted of rape charges, pleaded not guilty today in Boston Municipal Court to assault and battery on a police officer and other charges, after an incident downtown during Celtics victory celebrations last night.Police apprehended Zerola at 1:45 a.m. after he was allegedly spotted urinating in public near State and Congress streets, according to Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk District Attorney’s office. When asked what he was doing, Zerola allegedly used an open hand to strike a police officer in the upper right shoulder, Wark said.
Weak sauce, Gary. If you’re going to hit a cop, make a closed fist.
Zerola, 36, ran but was quickly arrested on charges that also included disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. Judge Tom Horgan released Zerola on personal recognizance and scheduled a pretrial conference for Aug. 7.
Sounds undignified. Did he try to flee with his pants around his ankles? Was a big wet spot visible when he was arrested?

First. Bring on the TTT jokes...
4:09, don't you mean TT jokes?
so i guess this guy just wont quit until hes sent to jail huh??
His mug shot is unflattering.
This guy's life is as ludicrous as a defendant on Boston Legal. Except this guy is real. I can imagine this guy in jail and calling Alan Shore for yet another lewd act.
Well, when you've got to go...
This guy must have watched Pee Wee's Playhouse growing up. he needs to stop acting like William Kennedy Smith and grow up.
Boston fans should be allowed to pee whereever they want after what the Celtics did to the rest of the NBA.
Patriots, then Celtics, now Red Sox.
All other cities are TTT, at least from a sports perspective.
Boston is a TTT city from any perspective.
Maybe he's pissed at one of the many law firms that occupy space at that intersection.
"You hit a cop, you go in. Motion to dismiss denied."
Back in high school we used to urinate on Boston streets after Celtic NBA titles all the time and it was no big deal.
Guys leave 4:54 alone, its only been like 3 or 4 months since the pats lost their perfect season. Boston football fans are still waiting for coach B to somehow cheat the giants and the world into thinking they actually won. Its okay 4:54 you DIDN'T lose to the wild card team, no you did not.
12+ Victims of Gary Zerola:
Four victims of Gary Zerola testified under oath about what happened to them. I have heard of at least 3 other victims who have gone forward and told police similar situations. Below are a few more blogs about 5 other victims of "Scary Gary". So far that is A DOZEN women whom all claim they were ATTACKED BY "Gary Z". There are many many more blogs posted by other victims of "Baby Zerola". Think about it. He is clearly a serial rapist and HE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.
"Boston magazine has found reference in court documents to prosecutors' allegations of a fourth incident, involving a young woman who claims her friends had to whisk her away from Zerola after he allegedly drugged her, though no charges were ever brought."
-Boston Magazine
"4 years ago Gary Z managed to gain the trust of my family through business ties he has with my father and then drugged and raped my sister as soon as he had a minute alone with her. Luckily he never got his hands on me. This loser behind being put away is the best news I've ever heard! I can only hope that his fellow inmates teach him what it feels like to be manhandled."

"a similar situation happened to me with gary, but i never reported it, and i was also 18 years old."

these girls are absolutely telling the truth. how do i know? i'm in the same boat. i hope gary is miserable and tainted for the rest of his life, just like the girls he abused."
-Boston Magazine
"Gary Zerola raped two friends of mine about 9 years ago. The last thing they remember was Gary buying them drinks at West St. Bar. They woke up naked next to Gary in the morning. Gary made sure he put enough drugs in their drinks so they wouldn't remember how they got there. They do know that they were raped. Neither of them had ever blacked out before in their lives. Read the blogs on Gary Zerola.... other's have similar stories"

WITCH HUNT!!!! Gary is a wonderful man, check your facts before you stone a man and guys beware!!!!! oh, and ps: he's hardly the first celtics fan to pee in the street!! boston-car-flipping fans would never stoop to that lol
An open-handed strike to the shoulder? What was it, a judo chop?
Deeply disturbed!
Witch hunt my ass. You can try and blame a girl for a he said she said incident but there is clearly a pattern here that goes way beyond the character of a single female. Somewhere between the 3 public rape/attempted rape cases and the dozens of other alleged ones, it seems to me that this guy has a serious problem and should be in jail.
Judo chop? lmfa, sounds about right!!
