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.

then how can he have a “husband” ?

Because they're Massholes, queers, turd burglars, packers, boy-rapers, faggots, butt pirates, screamers, queens, homos, undocumented proctologists, fairies, dirtmen...

Well, they could be lobster gobblin' queens in Maine just as easily.

Well, we have our share of moonbats in Portland, but they mostly moved up here from Taxachusetts and proceeded to screw up the state.

(perhaps you’ve heard of such a thing happening)

While we have sent some real humdinger (RATs and RINOs) to the District of Corruption....nothing compares to the likes of: “The Swimmer”, Patches “Do you know who I am” Kennedy, John “Liveshot” Kerry, Barney “hotbottom” Fwank, or Fauxcahontas.

Did I leave anyone out?

A quick flare up and then this story will be buried by the MSM with the inconspicuous carcasses of most all leftist scandals.

Not to speak ill of him, but if your dad was a “loyal Democrat,” then he would have played along with any such nonsense that the party dictated, no matter how surreal and ridiculous.

I’ve known several such old-time Democrats, and they refused to acknowledge the open truth for the Party’s sake.

Anyone who thinks there’s a modicum of hope for this state needs to be captured by men in white coats and a butterfly net.

Yep. It is getting exponentially worse all the time.

I'm a big supporter of MassResistance, and Brian Camenker routinely lets people know how insane it's getting.

Hefner brags about his “pull” as he allegedly gropes younger guys and older guys. A heterosexual victim frets that “complaining about it would be seen as homophobic.”

Ok that beta omega(?) deserved it. Ugh.

In a time that now seems as remote as Calvin Coolidge’s, the Senate president was Billy Bulger, whose brother was a gangster from South Boston. Bulger was succeeded by Tom Birmingham, who was named after his late uncle, a gangster from Charlestown. In retrospect, those were the good old days, when you could have faith in Massachusetts.

True and truly sad.

You named FIVE humdingers, so, of course, you left MANY out, but why bother naming them specifically. Pretty much anyone w/ "D-MA" after their name is a humdinger.

BTW, I'm a former MA resident. Never going back.

Howie can't stop talking about this.

Especially the bow tie.

Gay marriage was supposed to make homosexuals more staid and responsible.

What happened?
