Former state Supreme Court Justice Matthew Rosenbaum issued a statement on July 28, 2021 addressing allegations that he sexually abused a former secretary.
In his first public remarks since abruptly resigning from the bench two years ago amid allegations of "improper conduct," former state Supreme Court Justice Matthew Rosenbaum issued a video statement Wednesday in which he acknowledged having had sexual relations with his secretary and denied that they were anything but consensual.
"More than a decade ago, I wrongly got involved with a woman outside of my marriage," he said. "It was not only wrong, it was a stupid thing to do. It was unfair to my wife, my children and to those who believed in me."
