These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abuse | The Seattle Times

Since Delvonn Heckard filed a lawsuit in early April, four other men have come forward to publicly accuse Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of sexual abuse. All claim Murray abused them decades ago as teenagers.The fifth man — Murray’s younger cousin Joseph Dyer, 54— is the latest accuser, saying Murray repeatedly molested him as a teenager in the 1970s when the two shared a bedroom in Dyer’s mother’s home in the Long Island town of Medford, New York.


Murray has vehemently denied the accusations as some have called for him to resign.
Here are the five men who have come forward.

Turns out Seattle's first openly gay mayor is also a pedophile.

Seattle mayor says he?ll resign after 5th molestation claim surfaces

I want to start off by saying if this is true, then this guy is a despicable piece of ****. And it probably is true, because of the amount of people accusing him. However, I would also like to point out that he has not been proven guilty yet, so we shouldn't just say "he is a pedophile". Innocent until proven guilty.

This has been a bad year for Seattle..... first this, now Amazon has gotten itchy feet. Next up most likely the $15 min wage crap shoot turns out to be indisputably a bad idea. The word I am hearing increasing bandied about in Seattle about Seattle is "Hubris". Seattle increasingly feels like a city ripe to fall, all the trash and drugs and vagrants roaming the streets completes the mood.

It's in rapid decline. Used to be one of my favorite cities to visit. It's going the way of Gotham.

What is it with politicians and sex crimes. Is there something that just makes a pervert want to run for office? It's gotten to the point I've stopped caring about anything but rape, and child molestation. He peed on someone, whatever. He like's prostitutes and sending dick pics, good for him. But it just seems like when there is no point in caring anymore, they up the ante.
 
Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus

If he is found guilty in a criminal court of those offenses then he should resign and serve time in prison. Accusations don't mean squat. By stepping down he lending credence to those accusations. It doesn't matter if he says he is stepping down because the accusations are effecting his ability to do his job. The man is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

I told one of my kids two weeks ago as I was walking with her in Capital Hill "This smells and looks like Chicago Circa 1974". My Microsoft daughter spends $3K a month for an almost new very nice loft apartment in a very top section of CH, she does not feel safe at night alone two blocks off.

Honestly. Could you possibly be less informed?

He's a ****ing scumbag. I hope he rots in jail.

A typical drive-by from you, I have learned to not expect any substance from you.

Civility tends to be a problem as well.

This one is by his own cousin. Sure smells like a duck.

Do some research for once before you spew your nonsense. Amazon is looking elsewhere because they have maxed out their presence in Seattle. They are not leaving. And your drivel about the $15 MW shows how stupid your posts cobtinue to be.

The truth will set you free. In your case that and running out of matches.

I can certainly see why you wouldn't like Seattle. Way too sophisticated and tolerant.

"I want us to stay in Seattle" was what he said, not "We will stay in Seattle".

PAY ATTENTION

Based upon what?

I think you have to be at least a little ****ed in the head to run for office, anyway.

Seattle has the third higjest homeless population in the U.S. Don't real sophisticated.
 
Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus

My experience in restaurants which are increasingly understaffed thus the hospitality is breaking down even as prices have risen feels to me about 20% y-o-y.

A feeling that this a bridge too far, even for lefty Seattleites.

A city that is never hot and never very cold attracts a lot of homeless people, imagine that.

You have anecdotal experience above mine.

But I have yet to see a cohesive study claim of any substantial negative effects. In fact whenever the subject of minimum wage comes up here at dP, which is often, there only seems to be one recent outlier study amongst the many, that claims anything besides little effect..

And from my anecdotal perspective, a 33% increase here over the past two years doesn't seem to have done much. Actually the local economy is booming, with corporate franchise fast-food paying over the current minimum wage and offering tuition (MickeyDee's) and other benefits.

It never gets cold in Seattle, Washington?

New York City has the highest homeless population. It damn sure gets cold, there.

What do they have in common? They both Liberal run ****holes.

The restaurants are hard to study because there have been many ways of attempting to round the circle, but it looks like the trend is towards adding 20% to the menu price at checkout. Rubs me the wrong way when they do that and then still give us a tip line on credit card slip, like they are hoping we will tip again, Blueacre did that to me weekend before last.
