In a recent press event, Acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, Josh Levy, addressed the scandal surrounding former federal prosecutor Rachael Rollins, calling it a “significant blow to the office.” Rollins resigned last May after a federal report revealed misconduct, including attempting to influence the DA’s race in Boston and lying under oath. Levy, who was nominated by President Joe Biden last fall, emphasized that his priorities include keeping communities safe from guns, drugs, and human trafficking, protecting children from sexual exploitation, and addressing hate crimes.
Despite facing delays in his permanent appointment by Senator J.D. Vance, Levy expressed his commitment to leading the office effectively. He highlighted Boston as the busiest U.S. Attorney’s Office in the nation for prosecuting human trafficking cases, with 19 cases currently under indictment. Levy’s comments come as he navigates the aftermath of the scandal involving Rollins, working to rebuild trust and maintain the office’s reputation. As he continues to lead the office, Levy remains focused on his mission to address critical issues in the region and ensure justice for the community.
