Seattle Mayor Ed Murray to resign following multiple accusations of sexual abuse
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray to resign following multiple accusations of sexual abuse
Published September 12, 2017
Fox News
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has announced plans to resign following multiple accusations of sexual abuse.
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray has announced plans to resign following multiple accusations of sexual abuse after a fifth accuser -- who is the mayor's younger cousin -- came forward and alleged that Murray repeatedly molested him in the 1970s.
Murray, 62, announced Tuesday that he will step down effective 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The mayor had already said that he wouldn't seek a second term.
Accuser Joseph Dyer, who is a dialysis technician and Air Force veteran, says the molestation occurred in New York when he was a teen, according to The Seattle Times.
The 54-year-old Dyer — Murray's first cousin once removed — told the newspaper that he wants the mayor punished for the alleged actions, saying, "I have had enough. ... Something has got to be done."
Murray has denied the accusation, attributing it to a longstanding family schism.
CALLS GROW FOR SEATTLE MAYOR TO RESIGN
"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," the mayor said in a statement.
Dyer reportedly said the incidents occurred when he was 13, while Murray, who was then in his early 20s, shared a bedroom with Dyer in his mother’s Long Island home.
"There would be times when I would fake sleeping because I didn't want him touching me," Dyer told the newspaper.
Four men had previously accused Murray of sexually abusing them. Murray has denied all of the allegations.
Before being elected mayor in 2013, Murray was a long-time Democrat state lawmaker who led the campaign to legalize same-sex marriage in Washington state.
As mayor, Murray pushed to raise the city's minimum hourly wage to $15.
"To the people of this special city and to my dedicated staff, I am sorry for this painful situation," Murray said.

Aaah geeez, sickening! Hey "Sleeping in Seattle", time for you all to wake up and take care of your own bizness instead of pounding on Trump all day and night long about his travel ban! Trump is just trying to keep US safe from terrorists, but look at you with a pedophile right there in your city's Mayor's office, and he's the .... MAYOR!!

Have people always been this degenerate?
In Texas, it seems our teachers think it is open season on students.
That is going on?
