A fourth person has filed a lawsuit against Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, claiming he was paid for sex.

Maurice Jones claimed he was introduced to Murray by Delvonn Heckard, who has also said he was abused by the mayor as a teen. Heckard’s attorney Lincoln Beauregard will join 成人X站 Radio’s Ron and Don at 3 p.m. Wednesday.

According to , Jones said he had also been to Murray’s apartment in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. He also said he’s gay and not part of a right-wing conspiracy.

Murray’s spokesperson Jeff Reading vehemently denied the most recent claim as false with the following statement:

As we鈥檝e seen repeatedly from opposing counsel, this filing fits firmly into the category of sensational media stunt. Mayor Murray does not know this person. This is an ambush copycat false accusation that is being made without any details, evidence, timeline or anything at all to substantiate its veracity. Mayor Murray has never had inappropriate relations with any minor, and Mayor Murray has never paid for sex.

In an email to 成人X站 Radio, Reading also called the “read-’em-weep selfie” of Beauregard and Jones that was filed in King County Superior Court “extremely odd and unsettling.”

Murray has denied previous sex abuse allegations and has said聽he will not step down.聽He has said聽he has no idea who a previous accuser is — known as D.H. — and maintains that the man鈥檚 name, Delvonn Heckard, 鈥渋s not familiar鈥 to him. Murray聽said on April 19,聽鈥淚 can state categorically that I have never had a sexual relationship with this individual, Delvonn Heckard, of any kind or at any time.鈥

Heckard, 46, is described as an openly gay man with no real political inclinations, which contrasts with the mayor鈥檚 claims that the allegations are a part of a right-wing conspiracy because the mayor pushed the LGBTQ civil rights bill.

Murray has acknowledged聽that he does have a connection with Jeff Simpson, another one of his accusers.

鈥淚 was his legal guardian for just under two years,鈥 Murray told 成人X站 7 on April 18, referring to Simpson.

Simpson is one of two Portland men who have accused the Seattle mayor of sexual abuse while they were minors in the 1980s.

Simpson has聽stressed that he is not asking for anything other than for the mayor to admit what he did.
