BOSTON — Governor Charlie Baker signaled on Tuesday his opposition to "elements" of a criminal justice reform bill touted by Massachusetts Senate members, including a potential revision of statutory rape and age-of-consent laws.
Asked during a press conference whether the proposal, drafted by state Senator William Brownsberger (D-Belmont) and which would enact a series of sexual consent age changes, Baker responded by saying he's concerned by that and other aspects of the Senate's bill.
