Nightclub staff urged to be vigilant after Boston sex assaults

By Khristopher Flack, Globe Correspondent

Owners from more than 80 Boston liquor-serving establishments met with police and city officials yesterday to be briefed on two related sexual assaults, police said.

The owners were given overviews of each incident, one last August and another in November. In both cases, a female victim was picked up in the downtown area and taken to Charlestown, where she was sexually assaulted, police said. The assaults were recently connected by DNA evidence.

Representatives from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center suggested ways that each establishment could help prevent future crimes and urged bar staff to be continually vigilant for suspicious activity.
