BOSTON — A report focusing on the reluctance of male victims to speak to investigators handling the sexual misconduct probe centered on the estranged civil-law husband of a powerful Beacon Hill lawmaker due to confidentiality concerns has prompted one unnamed alleged victim to make a startling claim.
"There's no way I would come forward," the unnamed man told Boston Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham. "This is an investigation to clear Stan Rosenberg's name. It's not an investigation to find out the truth."
The defendant, now a 57-year-old man, was apparently always a suspect in the case, in which a 16-year-old girl who went running one Friday night in 1980 in East Millinocket, Maine never came home. Prosecutors haven't said why it took them this long to charge the man.
