And the victim is male too.
His party affiliation has been sanitized from the story.
If this had been a Republican Gov. the Boston Globe would be all over him like white on rice! I guess they expect it of Democrats, so it’s no big deal.
He’s married...to a guy? Ugh.
And, he, too, is a grad of Harvard Law...and a Rhodes Scholar.
Well, it certainly proves that exceptional educations don’t prevent pervs from being pervs.
