SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) – Three decades before Ed Murray became Seattle’s mayor, an Oregon child-welfare investigator found he had sexually abused his foster son and the state concluded that “under no circumstances” should Murray serve as a foster parent in the future.
The Seattle Times reported these findings after Oregon’s Department of Human Services unearthed the old records — previously thought to have been destroyed — at the newspaper’s request.
Murray’s former foster son is one of four men who publicly accused Murray this spring of sexually abusing them decades ago.
Murray adamantly denies the allegations, but declined to seek re-election.
