Gary Zerola, a Boston Lawyer, made People magazine’s list of America’s "Most Eligible Bachelors" and earned a tryout for the TV reality show "The Bachelor."  But all that glitters isn’t gold - Zerola had a fiendish darker side say authorities - he is a rapist who preys on young women. 

He awaits back-to-back trials beginning Tuesday in Boston on charges he attacked two 19-year-olds in 2004 and 2006. He also faces charges in Florida, where authorities say he force-fed drugs to an 18-year-old woman, then raped her in a Miami Beach hotel in October while free on bail in the Massachusetts assaults.  Prosecutors say Zerola met all three women in bars, charmed them, then attacked them when they refused to have sex. 

In the 2004 case, Zerola stands accused of repeatedly raping a woman in his apartment.  In 2006, a woman told police that after the two went out on their first date, she went back to his apartment to use the bathroom. She said that after she turned down Zerola’s sexual advances, he ripped off her dress and underwear, slammed her head against the wall and refused to let her leave.  The woman dialed 911 on her cell phone and police tracked the call to Zerola’s apartment using a GPS system.  While awaiting trial in those two attacks, Zerola violated the conditions of his bail and flew to Florida this past fall to see the New England Patriots play the Miami Dolphins.  A woman told police she had several drinks with Zerola at a club, then went to his hotel room, where Zerola stuffed pills down her throat. The woman, who told police she was a virgin, said she awoke naked and bleeding in bed beside Zerola.  Zerola told police, "I never had sex with her." He would not submit to a DNA test, prosecutors said.

Guess what - the lawyer who’s license is currently suspended, is free on $100,000 bail.  Tell me, is it possible for the judge who granted Zerola bail to grow a brain?
