Matthew Muckey, a trumpet player with the New York Philharmonic, was fired following allegations from a former partner claiming their sexual relationship was non-consensual. Muckey asserts the encounter was consensual, evidenced by messages where she praised their relationship and confirmed consent. After being investigated without seeing evidence against him, Muckey has filed a lawsuit seeking to clear his name and to defame the accuser, who had a previous relationship with him in 2008. The complexity of past relationships and consent issues presents significant legal and ethical questions.
"Awwww you're really the best thanks for everything, yes, even the sex," she allegedly wrote to him via Facebook Messenger after their 2008 encounter. "It was pretty good."
Muckey insists in a lawsuit that she knew what she was doing during their relationship and even complimented him on his performance.
C.S. allegedly wrote, "I did consent," reflecting her acknowledgment of the consensual nature of the encounter.
Muckey was exonerated of earlier misconduct allegations, providing evidence that his encounter with C.S. was consensual.
