Please Read this story. This will be the take down of a Big City Mayor. Can you imagine how many he must have abused since the 80's? There is no way that he stopped after these three boys. Once a Pedophile Always A Pedophile. This is only the tip of the iceberg. "D.H. said he wants Murray held accountable for treating him “like I was just nothing, like I was worthless.” His lawsuit said he “is disturbed that Mr. Murray maintains a position of trust and authority, and believes that the public has a right to full information when a trusted official exploits a child.” ****** Amen.

Yes for every victim that comes forward decades later, I would bet there are 10-20 additional victims that we never hear about. And that's probably underestimating the number greatly.

I hope these guys stand strong and hang in there. I was thinking, if someone would set up a go fund me for their lawyer and lawsuit. Someone in Seattle, maybe. It would also be a great morale booster. You know, letting them know that someone has their back?

I wouldn't get your hopes up quite yet. His attorney issued a strong rebuke of the allegations and calls it an attempt to "damage a prominent elected official who has been a defender of vulnerable populations for decades." (link)

When you consider the fact that former Portland Mayor Sam Adams successfully fended off allegations of sexual misconduct with a young male in 2009, there is a real possibility that he stays in power and even gets re-elected (as was the case with Adams). Seems to be the way we do things here in the Pacific Northwest.

It is the way they do things in America, and apparently western society. Elite crimes against children is a perk that is protected at all cost. The link that bonds them all together in an unbreakable pact of solidarity. If it were only the Pacific Northwest.

These two testimonies might be his downfall....

“During these encounters, (he) noticed that Ed had an unusual bump on his penis and bright red pubic hair,” the paralegal wrote in a memo in 2007.

In his lawsuit, D.H. described Murray as having “reddish pubic hair and a unique mole on his scrotum — it is a small bump.”

Protest. A protest must be organized. This is disgusting. People have to realize that this is not just one person with a vendetta. These are three boys, now men. There were others before as well. I am hoping others will step forward. We know there are others.
