A nationally-known pro-abortion activist has been arrested on charges of raping a 15-year-old boy. Terrance Patrick Bean is the founder of Human Rights Campaign, a group that pushes other political issues but also takes a steadfastly pro-abortion position.
Human Rights Campaign, in addition to advancing abortion, has also lobbied Congress to end all federal funding for abstinence education, and hailed one piece of legislation that cut off funding because it “would end abstinence-only-until-marriage programs once and for all.” Bean is also a prominent supporter of pro-abortion President Barack Obama.
The Portland Oregonian newspaper has more on Bean’s indictment, reporting that “Detectives from the Portland police Sex Crimes Unit arrested Portland developer Terrence Patrick Bean on Wednesday on a Lane County indictment stemming from alleged sex abuse involving a teenage boy in 2013.”
Bean was arrested at his home in Southwest Portland and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center yesterday morning.
Here’s more:
The indictment charges Bean with two counts of third-degree sodomy, a felony, and one count of third-degree sex abuse, a misdemeanor, police said.
Bean, who bailed out of jail by late Wednesday afternoon, will be arraigned on the indictment in Lane County.
Detectives in Portland’s Sex Crime Unit are the lead investigators in the case and have been working closely with the Clackamas County and Lane County district attorneys’ offices.
The alleged incident involved a sexual encounter in Eugene with a 15-year-old boy.

Another person alleged to have been involved in that encounter is also expected to face arrest as part of the indictment.
“The investigation began in Portland, but the criminal episode occurred in Lane County,” said police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson.
Lane County Chief Deputy District Attorney Patricia Perlow declined to release any information about the case or the indictment.
Bean has been one of the state’s biggest Democratic donors and an influential figure in gay rights circles in the state. He helped found two major national political groups, the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, and has been a major contributor for several Democratic presidential candidates, including Barack Obama. He’s also a close friend of former Gov. Barbara Roberts.
Bean’s Flickr account shows him talking with Obama at several events, posing with first lady Michelle Obama and numerous other political figures, including former President Bill Clinton.
I didn’t know homosexuals were pushing abortion. Makes sense, since they’re so anti-G-dly.
Probably because leftists push the mantra that abortion, like marriage, is a human right that they argue would be so awful for society to live with restrictions on it.
That’s pretty messed up. I am going to honestly say that plenty of people in society nowadays can’t be trusted on their own at those ages.
From ALL that I've ever read or seen about pedophilia, I understand that it's generational. Children who were abused grow up to be abusers.
MAYBE things will change now that we have such a huge amount of Internet traffic which says how WRONG pedophilia is, was and always will be.
One can only hope...and pray.
