CNN: Boston-area DA ready to investigate claims against Fairfax
The district attorney in Suffolk, Massachusetts, has told a woman she is willing to investigate her claims that Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax sexually assaulted her at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston.
Rollins sent a letter to Vanessa Tyson's attorneys last week saying her office will investigate if Tyson chooses to file a criminal complaint against Fairfax, Jake Wark, a spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins' office confirmed to CNN. The Boston Globe first reported the letter by Rollins.
Rollins told CNN in a statement her office is "ready, willing and able" to help and prepared to deal with the situation on Tyson's terms.
Tyson has previously said that she is not interested in pursuing criminal charges against Fairfax, but did not respond to CNN's request for comment after Rollins' statement. Tyson's attorneys have yet to respond to the offer from Rollins.
