TWO WHO BROKE INTO BU RESIDENCE HALL GET PROBATION, CONDITIONS Mar. 10, 2008 Two Chestnut Hill men who were charged in January with breaking into a Boston University student dormitory and entering two separate unlocked dorm rooms have agreed to comply with strict probationary conditions or face a trial if they violate those conditions, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley announced. On Friday, Brighton District Court Judge David T. Donnelly continued the case against DANIEL GLASER, 20 (D.O.B. 3/15/87) and AARON GOODLISS, 21 (D.O.B. 6/16/86) for two years and one year respectively for their joint roles in the Jan. 20 incident at Claflin Hall. Both Glaser and Goodliss admitted to facts sufficient to warrant a guilty finding on charges of breaking and entering. Glaser was also admitted to facts sufficient for a guilty finding for assault and battery – a charge incurred when he allegedly touched two female students as they slept in their beds – and Goodliss additionally admitted to facts sufficient for a guilty finding for possession of marijuana. Assistant District Attorney Megan O’Rourke agreed to a continuance of the case on the basis that the two men follow strict conditions during a probationary period. For a two-year period, Glaser must stay away from both Boston University and have no contact with the two female victims. He must complete 200 hours of community service and undergo substance abuse testing, evaluation, and treatment as deemed appropriate. Goodliss likewise must abide by the stay away orders and substance abuse testing, evaluation, and treatment as deemed necessary, but for a one-year period during which he must complete 100 hours of community service. During their probationary terms, both men must stay out of trouble and not re-offend in any way. If they do, the charges will be dismissed at the term’s end; if they do not, or if they are re-arrested on any charge, their cases could be put back on track for trial. Had the cases proceeded to trial, Suffolk prosecutors would have introduced evidence and testimony to show that, at or around 2:30 a.m., Glaser was asked to leave Claflin Hall when he became unruly and made unwanted advances toward one of his hosts. Glaser is said to have called Goodliss over to the Babcock Street residence building some time afterwards, where they told two residents that they didn’t have their Boston University IDs. Those residents signed them in, contrary to university policy. Once inside, the men – both of whom had been drinking alcohol and were intoxicated – allegedly made their way to the building’s 12th floor. As Goodliss waited outside, Glaser allegedly entered some living quarters through an unlocked door and climbed into bed with an 18-year-old female. He allegedly put his arms around her until she rolled out of bed, turned on the lights, and told him to get out. Glaser then allegedly made his way to another room, where he is said to have used a chair in an effort to climb into a second young woman’s loft-style bed, and in doing so, grabbed at the side of her body. That victim’s roommates were awoken by the sound of him falling from the chair, and the young women saw Goodliss standing in the hallway. Together, both men left the floor using the stairwell. They were detained by responding university police, who took them into custody after the two victims and several witnesses positively identified them. Glaser was represented by attorney Dennis McMahon. Goodliss was represented by attorney William D. Crowe. Return to the Press Releases page.
