"Representative Jeff Roy, who last year disclosed his relationship with a top lobbyist, said it had started only recently, after the two Bates College graduates met through the school’s alumni council. But a divorce filing, originally submitted by his wife a day after he disclosed the relationship in a letter quietly filed to the state House clerk, now suggests the romance may have been going on far longer.In that filing, Maureen Roy wrote that she believed her husband and lobbyist Jennifer Crawford had been together since 2019, and that the Franklin Democrat had been showering her with vacations, expensive meals, and lavish gifts for years. Roy and his wife formally separated in November 2022, documents reveal, but their divorce proceedings — which began in July 2023 — are still ongoing.The revelations about Maureen Roy’s allegations come after Globe reporting disclosed that Roy, who is chairperson of the House energy committee, and Crawford, who represents several clients regulated by that panel, were in a romantic relationship.
