BOSTON — New allegations have surfaced against Massachusetts Senate President Stan Rosenberg‘s husband, Bryon Hefner.
Mass Live reports Hefner is accused of sending an unsolicited nude photo to someone who works in state politics.
The picture was reportedly sent in a text message earlier this year, according to CBS Boston.
The new claim was filed after four men alleged Hefner sexually assaulted them over the past several years. The men say they didn’t report the misconduct at the time because they feared backlash from Rosenberg.
On Monday, lawmakers will begin the process of starting an independent investigation into those claims.
Rosenberg has recused himself. He won’t be involved in the investigation.
During a press conference on Friday, Rosenberg said Hefner will soon begin in-patient treatment for alcoholism.
