Boston Public Schools assistant director of security Edward J Brown, 27, has pleaded not guilty to raping a woman he met at a Martha’s Vineyard bar.

Brown was released after his family paid $10,000 cash bail; his lawyer called the incident a private matter. The article also reports that the former girlfriends raised concerns about harassment and feared for their safety.
