SEATLLE (AP) – A man is accusing Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual assault from nearly 30 years ago.
The man is accusing Murray of sexual misconduct over a several-year span in the 1980s.
He filed a lawsuit in King County Superior Court Thursday.
The plaintiff’s attorney claims he was a drug-addicted child prostitute at age 15 who carried on a sexual relationship with Murray.
Murray’s spokesperson issued a statement that reads, in part:
“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.
