Gordon Willis, the Man Who Plays Peekaboo
Boston's favorite most eligible bachelor/fallen-from-grace attorney has proven once again that charges against him won't stick. Gary Zerola was found not guilty for the second time in two months this afternoon in Suffolk Superior Court. The Herald is reporting that he was acquitted of sexual assault on a young woman. The prosecution's case was hurt by questions of the accuser's credibility and the fact that the Boston Police Department didn't get a search warrant.
Zerola isn't out of the woods yet. He still faces charges in alleged rape charges in Miami, but we are curious to see what he will do next. His criminal trouble will most certainly prevent him from working with foster children again, and his legal issues and temporarily suspended law license will make continuing to work as an attorney difficult. Any suggestions for Gary's next career move?
Update: Zerola acquitted for more rape charges, but rearrested for peeing in public.
All charges are alleged until proven in a court of law. Photo credited to the AP.

11+ Victims of Gary Zerola:
4 victims of Gary Zerola testified under oath about what happened to them. I have heard of at least 3 other victims that went forward and told police similar stories. Below are blogs about 5 more victims. So far that is 12 women who all claim they are victims of Gary Zerola. There are many many more blogs posted by other victims of Zerola. Think about it. He is clearly a serial rapist and he needs to be put away.
"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."

"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"

" 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."
