The Crimson was still in it. Of course, the Big Green struck just 32 seconds into that frame with another redirection, but blueliner Dylan Reese leveled...
...have picked up a 26-year-old Brighton woman at the intersection of Congress and Milk Streets by offering her a ride to the Back Bay area. The woman got into what was described as a “black SUV,” in which Bennett allegedly drove her to the area of One Alewife Center and sexually assaulted her. After Bennett allegedly left her in the parking lot, the woman contacted a friend for a ride, went to a local hospital for treatment, and contacted the Cambridge Police Department (CPD) to report the incident. The second attack took...
