A man jailed on drug charges has accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of paying him for sex when the man was a teenager decades ago, claims that were vehemently denied Wednesday by a spokesman for the mayor. The man said he had been to Murray's apartment in Seattle and he had paid him for sex but did not provide specifics. Asked why the man should be considered credible, Beauregard told the Associated Press: "I found him persuasive." "The first thing, when I met him, he said, 'I’m a drug addict,'" Beauregard told the station in an April 20 interview. Reading said Beauregard's latest court filing was designed as a media stunt and reiterated that "Mayor Murray has never had inappropriate relations with any minor."
