Report: Several men accuse spouse of Senate President Stan Rosenberg of abuse (Massachusetts)
Boston Herald ^ | 11-30-2017 | Associated Press

Posted on 11/30/2017 6:43:48 PM PST by Impy

Democratic Senate President Stan Rosenberg said Thursday he was taking seriously a report that his husband sexually assaulted and harassed several men, including some with business before the Legislature.

The Boston Globe reported it spoke with four men who said Bryon Hefner sexually assaulted and harassed them over the past few years.

Three of the men told the Globe that Hefner grabbed their genitals and one said Hefner kissed him against his will. The Globe said it found no evidence Rosenberg knew about the alleged assaults.

Hefner said in a statement to the Globe through his lawyer that he was "shocked to learn of these anonymous and hurtful allegations."

"To my knowledge, no one has complained to me or any political or governmental authority about these allegations which are now surfacing years afterward," Hefner, 30, said in the statement. "As one can imagine, it is incredibly difficult to respond to allegations by unnamed and unidentified individuals that involve an extended period of time, particularly in the current environment."

Rosenberg, 68, a state senator since 1991, assumed the top leadership post in January 2016. He is the first openly gay leader of either legislative chamber in Massachusetts.

Shortly before his election as president, Rosenberg responded to reports that Hefner, his then domestic partner, had used social media to boast of his influence in Senate affairs.

In a December 2014 letter to 33 Democratic senators, Rosenberg vowed to create a "firewall" between his personal and professional life.

In a statement issued by his office Thursday, Rosenberg said the allegations published by the Globe marked the first time he heard about the claims and that he takes them seriously.

I am confused here.

Can somebody help me?

The article says:

“Democratic Senate President Stan Rosenberg said Thursday he was taking seriously a report that his husband......”

As far as I know, Stan is a male’s name.

If his name is Stan and he is a male,

then how can he have a “husband” ?

These people that are in all this sex trouble are the very ones that shun Christians for trying to live the life that the Bible asks them too. I bet they are a miserable bunch. Living a totally amoral life can’t be a happy life.

That’s exactly what I was thinking; the old guy must have been delighted to find he was legal. He could be 14 for all I can tell.

That candy-assed ruffian Howie Carr lives for stories like this: it’s at least a month’s worth of comedy material for his radio show.

Why would any self-respecting man live in that state anymore?

When will the term “ husband “ be targeted for whatever reason....according to reasonable research methods, (etymologically speaking), it is unlikely that two husbands under the same roof can happen at the same time.....

How come gay “married” men always refer to their spouses as their “husband”? In a gay “marriage,” isnt one of them the wife , or are they both husbands?

"When are the victims of Barney Frank going to seek justice?"

I'm wondering if old Barney used any of that slush fund to pay off his victims when he was in Congress.
