4th man accuses Seattle mayor of sex abuse decades ago
SEATTLE (AP) — A man jailed on drug charges has accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of paying him for sex when the man was a teenager decades ago, claims that were vehemently denied Wednesday by a spokesman for the mayor.
Court records show he was initially charged with cocaine possession and released from jail but re-booked in March and jailed again.
Murray has also denied the claims by Heckard and two other men who separately told The Seattle Times they met Murray while living in a center for troubled teens and that he paid them for sex.
The man's history of alleged criminal offenses also include theft, assault, false reporting and resisting arrest..
The Associated Press does not typically identify alleged victims of sex abuse.
