Turd-stabber Seattle mayor accused of raping crack-addicted boys and paying them $10

A shocking tale of pedophilia is emerging in Seattle, 
Washington. Mayor Ed Murray, 61, is accused of raping teenage 
boys since the 1980s. A lawsuit was filed this week against 
Murray where a victim stated that the mayor first sexually 
assaulted him when he was just 15 and a high school dropout. The 
man, now 46, claimed that the mayor paid him $10 to $20 for each 
encounter that went on several times as he struggled with a 
crack addiction.

The victim only identified by the initials D.H. in court filings 
stated to the Seattle Times, “I have been dealing with this for 
over 30 years,” and came forward recently as part of his healing 
process. But the allegations are not new against Mayor Murray. 
Two other men have also come forward with the same allegations 
and one even went to the police when he was a teen. The men, 
identified as Jeff Simpson and Lloyd Anderson, accused Murray of 
abusing them in the 1980s and paying them for sex and said 
they’d be willing to testify about it. Simpson, 49, said Murray 
— who he thought of as a father — raped him over several years, 
starting at age 13, and in later years, paid him.

‘I would really like for him to admit it and to take 
responsibility,” Simpson told media recently. In 1984, one of 
the victims talked to a social worker and to a detective about 
the abuse. At that time, charges of a felony third-degree sodomy 
charge developed but the prosecutors declined to bring the case 
forward. Because the assault occurred so long ago, all records 
from that era have more than likely been destroyed. Murray is 
running for re-election and his camp claims that the lawsuit is 
politically motivated.

Murray’s personal spokesman Jeff Reading stated, “These false 
accusations are intended to damage a prominent elected official 
who has been a defender of vulnerable populations for decades. 
It is not a coincidence that this shakedown effort comes within 
weeks of the campaign filing deadline. These unsubstantiated 
assertions, dating back three decades, are categorically false.”

Reading went on to say in a statement “The two older accusations 
were promoted by extreme right-wing anti-gay activists in the 
midst of the marriage equality campaign and were thoroughly 
investigated and dismissed by both law enforcement authorities 
and the media.”

The age of legal consent in Washington is 16; having sex with 
anyone younger is considered rape of a child under state law. 
The statute of limitations on any crime would have expired.
