Mayor accused of molesting boys

Jim West, the mayor of Spokane, Washington has been accused of luring and molesting boys for the past 25 years, according to the Spokesman-Review. The short version of this story is that West is said to have used his influence as a sheriff's deputy, Boy Scout leader, and a politician to develop sexual relationships with boys.

West, who says (sort of) that he is bisexual, and who acknowledges visting gay.com, claims that he never had anything to do with anyone who was under 18 years old. His accusers say differently.
