A prominent Democratic political consultant in Sacramento has testified that he molested two boys more than 30 years ago while working at a Los Angeles-area YMCA.
The admission from John Robert Stevens — a former high-ranking advisor to Gov. Gray Davis and Assembly speakers Antonio Villaraigosa, Herb Wesson and Fabian Nuñez — came in a lawsuit accusing the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles of failing to protect two brothers from Stevens' abuse.

Stevens "is ashamed and would like to find a way to make it right," said Boucher, whose law firm represented Stevens in his deposition. Stevens is not a defendant in the suit but is expected to testify when the trial begins Dec. 5 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Stevens, through an associate, declined to comment. After nearly 20 years in state government, Stevens, 59, retired in January, three months before he gave the deposition.
He was one of Davis' top energy advisors and worked on several projects, including the governor's effort to keep utilities out of bankruptcy. Davis in 2001 named him to the Public Utilities Commission, where he served for a single day, casting a key vote to temporarily raise residential electricity rates by about $5 a month.
Before working for Davis, Stevens spent a decade as staff member to the Assembly Transportation Committee. He also was transportation consultant to state Sen. Kevin Murray (D-Culver City).

Stevens' deposition is under a judge's protective order, but attorney Katherine K. Freberg, who represents the Evans brothers, attached portions of it to pretrial motions she filed in court. Her lawsuit contends that YMCA officials knew that Stevens was a pedophile.

Has to be a democrat.
How can this be newsworthy? He wasn't a priest, after all.
Sounds like he's your run of the mill Dem.
No thanks. You've done enough.

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A.

But you got to know this one thing!
No man does it all by himself.

And just go there, to the Y-M-C-A.
I'm sure they can help you today.

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the Y-M-C-A.
They can start you back on your way.

Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be
Well .. I seriously doubt Davis would have hired anyone who wasn't a committed democrat.
There have been 4-5 "culture of corruption" democrats exposed lately .. I think the dems have already dropped that stupid phrase .. because it's only highlighting THEIR people even more.
To a liberal, there are worse things than being a homo pedophile. Like being a Boy Scout. Now there's something to keep in the closet.
Why? Did I miss something?
