SEATTLE - Mayor Ed Murray abruptly announced his resignation from his post Tuesday, about two hours after The Seattle Times reported that his cousin said Murray had repeatedly molested him in the 1970s when he was a teenager.
Murray's cousin became the fifth man to accuse the mayor of sexual abuse. Earlier allegations of sexual abuse prompted Murray to drop out of his campaign for re-election but he had steadfastly refused to resign until now.
He said his resignation would be effective Wednesday at 5 p.m.
“While the allegations against me are not true, it is important that my personal issues do not affect the ability of our City government to conduct the public’s business," Murray said in a statement issued at about 1:10 p.m. Tuesday.
“I’m proud of all that I have accomplished over my 19 years in the Legislature, where I was able to pass what were at the time the largest transportation packages in state history, a landmark gay civil rights bill and a historic marriage equality bill.

A disgusting human being.
Good riddance!
That’s what you get for not knowing what your buttonhole is for.
The forces of evil will have a hard time finding a sodomite candidate who doesn’t have a history like that.
Glad he’s gone but, knowing Seattle, they’ll probably find someone even worse to succeed him.
You know what ticks me off? The liberals in Seattle didn’t believe he was a pedophile until the white kid reported it.
The testimony of the black boys he raped wasn’t good enought for the leftists.
Why can’t this pervert claim that he himself was a victim a childhood sexual abuse? And claim how he was discriminated against all his life he to his sexual orientation?
Black play the Race Card. Why can’t he play the Queer Card and keep his job?
It’s what liberals do.
One more Leftist revealed for what he truly is.
“Glad he’s gone but, knowing Seattle, they’ll probably find someone even worse to succeed him.”
Kashima Sawant is waiting in the wings fresh from her $15 minimum wage “campaign.” The really sad part of all of this is that these vermin destroy a place for the decent people who are unfortunately in the minority today, but still like to call Seattle home.
That face looks like 40 miles of bad road. Talk about pock marks.
Maybe this is obvious to many here, but I’ve begun to realize sex perversion is a major element of the leftist revolution, maybe of politicians of all stripes. They are either advancing it or covering it up.
I think a lot of them are busy making the world a safer place for them and their twisted interests.
Disgusting, indeed!
Is Mr Mayor,by any chance,a "confirmed bachelor"?
Ping.
Yes, just like the guy who replaced G. Condit was worse and is P. Ryan is worse than Boehner.
I dare the U.S. Senate to unanimously condemn pedophilia.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for it...
The “truth” about these matters comes out in the end, one way or the other.
D versus R, “Right” versus “Left” fade into what is perhaps more important “right versus wrong”.
The witch hunt on sexual wrongdoing isn’t going to stop it.
Last week Eric Bolling faced consequences on “the Right”.
Now this guy on “the Left”.
I’ve seen it all in the last 30 years from radio and tv preachers to Anthony Weiner and so much more.
Sexual activities have been and are out of control in my lifetime.
It takes an “act of God” to stop it.
But, but he sooooo fits being a “leader” for a progressive city.
However, given the losers we have out there, each and every progressive city has a plethora of replacements when their existing corrupt immoral and low IQ leader is exposed.
I don’t want to know what they do to that poor dog.
