Seattle Mayor Ed Murray on Friday denied as "simply not true" allegations in a civil lawsuit that he once paid a homeless, drug-addicted teenager for sex in the 1980s, and he vowed to press on with his re-election campaign.

Appearing briefly at the downtown office of his private attorney, Murray, 61, a Democrat who began his first term in 2013, shed no light on the identity of his anonymous accuser while challenging the man's credibility.

"I understand the individual making these accusations is troubled, and that makes me sad as well," he said.

You are of course right, but the man does deserve some presumption of innocence until all the facts are out there. The MSM is wrong to run with this so publicly until there are more facts available.

It’s the media’s job to put the facts out there so the truth can come out. It’s too bad they ignored the charges when they were first made years ago.

The newspaper said it previously chose not to report the earlier 2007 allegations, but decided to do so this week

Hell would freeze over before he would be a Republican.

Everybody deserves a presumption of innocence when speaking of a Jury but it gets pretty thin for a guy who defines himself by what he does with his pee pee and who is in fact a Pervert. As a voter I would give a known pervert no such presumption.

Homosexuals have no sexual morality what-so-ever. it is why they are much more likely to molest children, animals, and have orgies—mulitiple sex partners like Elton John—even “after” so-called “marriage”.

The whole homosexual “marriage” deal is to corrupt little children—the ones who would have been protected from rape and such evil, vile, irrational worldview, so they can destroy the Christian worldview in all children; wipe it off of the Earth and make the little children totally irrational. Tribal irrational communal worldview will be the Norm again in children raised in such an irrational, evil, toxic culture where Truth can not exist, where Boys can be Girls and Slavery is Freedom.

It is removel of Right Reason and Natural Law from our Constitution-—basically destroying it (Truth/God).

nobody but nobody cared when DEAD priests were condemned and found guilty in public opinion when some guy claimed sexual abuse 40 yrs ago...and then of course, the big payoff....
