Murray had already announced earlier that he would not seek a second term.

A fifth man has accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of sexual abuse decades ago.
The Seattle Times reported Tuesday that the man is Murray’s first cousin once removed, Joseph Dyer.
Dyer told the newspaper he was 13 and that Murray was in his early 20s when Murray came to live with Dyer’s family in Medford, New York and the alleged abuse happened.
Murray has denied the allegations, and he blamed Dyer’s on bad relations between their families.
Murray said he has no plans to resign before his term is over at the end of this year.
Dyer is a 54-year-old dialysis technician and Air Force veteran.
The Associated Press does not typically name alleged victims of sex abuse but Dyer gave an extensive interview to the newspaper.

Quote from SeattleTimes:
"
Joseph Dyer, a younger cousin of Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, says he wants Murray punished, alleging he repeatedly molested him in the 1970s in New York. “I have had enough ... Something has got to be done.” Murray denies abusing Dyer, blaming a yearslong family rift.

Joseph Dyer, 54, a dialysis technician and Air Force veteran, says he was 13 when Murray forced him into sex for about a year while the two shared a bedroom in Dyer’s mother’s home in the Long Island town of Medford, New York.
“There would be times when I would fake sleeping because I didn’t want him touching me,” Dyer, a married father who now lives in another state, recalled during an interview with The Seattle Times.
“And that’s when he would molest me. And my mother would be right there in the house, she’d be in the living room … watching TV, at that time it was probably “MASH.” And my sisters would be in their rooms, sleeping. And I would be in my room, and he would be in there, molesting me.”"*

And he was actually fighting the charges?
These people are monsters. I don't care how many movies they make normalizing this behavior, these people are sick in the head and belong in prison.

If this "behind the barn" shit was between parties of a similar size and age and was not abusive and coercive it might be more like what these movie makers imagine. But I have never heard of a case that did not involve considerable screaming and bleeding and at least an eighty lb size difference.

Exactly. The thing is that the youngster is almost always the stooge, even when convinced otherwise. The older, wise POS has done this so many times that it's serial molestation. Quite often the youngster walks away thinking it was their fault. Just ridiculous.
