Prominent Criminal Justice Advocate and Ex-Prosecutor Acquitted of Rape Charges
Adam Foss, a former Boston prosecutor and criminal justice reform advocate, has been acquitted of charges of rape and sexual abuse. The allegations against Foss surfaced in 2020 when a woman accused him of raping her while she was asleep in a Manhattan hotel room. Foss maintained that their encounter was consensual. The trial loss is significant for Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, who has prioritized the prosecution of sex crimes.
