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 really need to get even further into the forest - 'far-er" from the madding crowd'
I want less and less to do with society...
and he eye makeup and lipstick -
Not MY world...
I can’t show this one to my 90 year old father, he might keel over.
Barf worthy, bleecch!
“onder how many did the dirty deed and kept their mouths shut because they got what they wanted out of the legislature?”
At some point they had to open their mouths and spit.
“...and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error.”
(New Testament, Romans 1:27)
” [The wicked are sentenced to suffer] just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent townswhich likewise gave themselves over to impurity and indulged in unnatural vice and sensual perversityare laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [to warn] of everlasting fire.”
(New Testament, Jude 1:7)
Aint no fool like an old FAG.
He looks like he should be talking to his parents about Obamacare...
In his PJs, drinking hot chocolate.
Wow.
That's even worse than (soon-to-be) Senator Roy Moore.
And he was going after the correct sex, and asked the girls' parents; and they were of the legal age of consent.
...incidentally, speaking of Stan Rosenberg, did anybody order a cheese pizza?
Because they're Massholes, queers, turd burglars, packers, boy-rapers, faggots, butt pirates, screamers, queens, homos, undocumented proctologists, fairies, dirtmen...
By Massachusetts standards, they're probably "not progressive enough" and facing a challenge from a half Lebanese, half black transgendered paraplegic candidate who wants to be the first openly bestiality Senate president.
Oh he is and has said the “spouse” looks like Pee Wee Herman.
—Gives new meaning to “boetied bumkisser(s)”, his nickname for those at the Globe
—for years, Howie has given Mike Dukakis
the nickname Pee Wee
Thats the difference between love and lust.
His husband.... I am too old for this sh@t!
LOL Everyone alive is too old for this sh@t!
I’m glad the men came forward. Many men do not speak out in fear of shame and embarrassment.
Anyone who thinks theres a modicum of hope for this state needs to be captured by men in white coats and a butterfly net.
I guess Stan is too busy at work to satisfy his “man.”
This kid has been trouble since the day he came on the scene. According to Senate President Rosenberg, the kid “saved his life”, but the kid has been influence peddling and heaven knows what else. About a year ago, he was ordered to stop meddling in Senate affairs, so I supposed he’s changed his focus to male molestation.
The Globe has treated this relationship with the utmost, worshipful gushing since it first came to public attention. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this.
It is impossible for a man to have a husband. Marriage is one man, one woman, one God. When people defy this definition, they defy God. It never turns out well to defy God or His will.
