Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, photo above, resigned on Wednesday after a fifth man
publicly accused the Democrat of molesting him as a child.
But Murray isn’t alone. At least 11 then-current
and former mayors have been accused of child sex abuse-related crimes since
2016. The allegations range from child porn to physical abuse. The alleged
victims were as young as four years old.
Stillwater, New York Mayor Rick Nelson resigned earlier this month after being arrested
on child porn charges. Nelson
has a decades-long history of alleged sexual misconduct involving teenagers and
children. The child porn charges marked the fifth such accusation
against Nelson, including allegations of rape and sodomy.
Nelson
was never convicted for the previous alleged abuses, which allegedly included
inappropriate behavior with a five year old in 1982 on the school bus that
Nelson was driving at the time.
Nelson is the father of Patrick Nelson, a Democratic 2018
congressional candidate who served as one of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’
delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
Just last
week, 78-year-old Dale
Kenyon, former mayor of Clayton, New York was indicted on charges of sexually abusing a
teenager over the course of three years.
Dwayne Schutt, 61-year old mayor of Randolph,
Nebraska, was arrested in July on multiple child sexual assault charges.
Police say Schutt repeatedly sexually abused a minor over a period of four
years, beginning when the victim was 13-years-old.
Schutt, whose trial is ongoing, remains Randolph’s mayor today.
Former Ohio mayor Richard Keenan, a
Democrat, was handed a life sentence in April 2017 after he pled guilty to
repeatedly raping a four-year-old girl.
Keenan, who was first indicted in August 2016, will be eligible
for parole after serving 10 years. He claimed during the trial that the four-year-old
was a “willing participant.”
Anthony Silva, then-mayor of Stockton,
California, this "fruit cake" is pictured above, was arrested last August on charges that he provided teens with alcohol at a
camp for underprivileged youth that he ran before recording them playing strip
poker.
Silva,
who claimed he accidentally recorded the strip poker game after interrupting
it, pled no contest to the lesser charge of
providing alcohol to a minor. He was sentenced to 40 hours of community
service. Silva, a
Republican, was later accused of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars
from the camp in a case that is ongoing.
Kenneth Lewis Barrett, then-mayor of
Winston, Oregon, was one of four men arrested on March 19 as part of a sex sting.
Authorities say the four men believed they were meeting a 14-year-old girl for
sex. Barrett was carrying a concealed handgun when he showed up to the meet,
police say.
The trial of a Georgia man last year convicted of molesting and
raping an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl took a dark twist when the
girl said that Christopher
Wright, then a Georgia mayor, had also raped her and forced her to perform oral
sex on him.
Wright,
who was first elected mayor as a Democrat in 2012 at the age of 22, was
indicted in June 2016. Wright
pled no contest to child sex abuse and rape in January 2017 but was let off
without a prison sentence. He was sentenced to 20 years probation — during which time he
can’t seek public office — and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.
Former Rockdale, Texas mayor Darral
Gene Walker, above,
was indicted in June 2016 on charges of sexual misconduct. “A copy of the
indictment said Walker engaged in sexual contact with a child younger than 17
years of age by touching the boy’s genitals.”. “Walker admitted that the events
happened at his home in Rockdale, but said it was for purely educational
reasons, not for sexual gratification.”
Walker
pled guilty to a lesser assault charge in August 2016 after striking a deal
with prosecutors that will allow him to avoid registering as a sex offender.
Former Millbrook, New York mayor Donald H. Briggs, above, was indicted on felony charges in December
2016, in relation to “alleged inappropriate sexual contact with a person
younger than 17.”
