He's a young up-and-comer Democrat who was a rising star.  Sure, he's in his 60s, but that's pretty young for a prominent Democrat.

Anyway, after the 5th accusation (a younger cousin), even he decided it may be a distraction.

QuoteMurray's midday announcement came soon after The Seattle Times reported on allegations by the mayor's cousin, Joseph Dyer, 54.

The fifth man to publicly accuse Murray of child sexual abuse, Dyer says he was 13 when Murray forced him into sex when the two shared a bedroom at Dyer's mother's home in Medford, New York, in the mid-1970s.

"We were very glad to hear that he's resigned," the mother, Maryellen Sottile, said Tuesday afternoon. "We hope it helps the others in some way."

Don't worry, Seattle.  You still have your $15 per hour minimum wage.

I guess same-sex rape of young teens is what it takes for deep-blue Seattle to shed a Democrat mayor..... but he's gotta do it at least five times.

For the first four alledged rapes only two council members were asking for him to resign? No wonder hillary got so many votes there.
