'The city of Seattle will pay $150,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by Delvonn Heckard, one of five men this year to publicly accuse former Mayor Ed Murray of sexual abuse decades ago.
“With this settlement, the City takes an important step in putting this sad chapter behind us, limiting litigation expenses, and allowing Mr. Heckard to move forward with his life,” City Attorney Pete Holmes said in the city’s statement Saturday evening.
Murray agreed to the settlement, but in his own statement continued to deny the allegations: “The lawsuit was painful for me, my husband, my family, and my former staff because the allegations were untrue. I did not molest or have any sexual contact with the plaintiff.”
Murray will not pay any part of the settlement, but he is responsible for covering his own legal fees, Holmes said.
Why on earth do the taxpayers have to pay $ 150,000 - not Murray?
Because Seattle is run by leftist retards.
Also, the kid's case probably wasn't very robust. If I recall correctly, Murray victimized "problem" foster kids who were druggies, shoplifters, violent or whatever and probably wouldn't hold up well on the witness stand.
