SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) – Seattle Mayor Ed Murray made an announcement today on his reelection plans.

He’s withdrawing as a candidate.

A man filed a lawsuit last month claiming Murray paid him for sex years ago when the man was a teen.

Murray reiterates his vehement denial of the allegations.

In all, four men say Murray sexually abused them decades ago when they were teenagers.

The 62-year-old Murray is a Democrat who was elected in 2013.
