'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.
Also, that is a paltry sum. A slap in the face, imo. 150K for ruining his life. You are a Scumbag Murray. You can't own up to the fact that you committed a heinous crime and that now you have to pay for it. Louse.
I am sure that when I say this makes me want to vomit that you are thinking the same. I just want to run up to people and ask them if they are disgusted by pedophilia or is it ok because it has not touched them. This world is becoming if not already, a shameful place, imo.
It could be some of both. I thought with the internet here, people would be more on to what is going on. It seems that a lot of people denying what I tell them and giving me strange looks are millennials that think they are the Inventors of the Internet so what the heck do I know. They give me this odd look, like yeah ok, retired lady you are at home all day watching soaps and knitting. Hah! They check out the same old msm sites it makes me sick. Yeah, I think there is some arrogance there like they know everything, don't tell me attitude and yes, Heads Up The Derriere.

If you think about what the pedo paid him for sex, the amount would seem like a fortune
This is/Was a homeless addict, to him it's a lot of money
Has the statue of limitations run out?
Would anyone have believed him when it was first happening?
There's a reason these children are chosen
Makes me sick, then these conniving abusers get to just walk away at the expense of taxpayers. There is no Justice for these children

I believe not only have they dumbed down America, they have desensitized them
If not, then we have a serious head up the ass epidemic

Just remembered a little tidbit about Seattle
Air and Ship traffic has gotten so huge, that they had to make some serious expansion
Remember reading that a lot of Chinese have been landing up there
Gonna have to look for that again, remember thinking why Seattle
