Seattle Mayor Ed Murrays accuser in sex-abuse lawsuit reveals identity: I have nothing to hide
Source: Seattle Times
The 46-year-old Kent man who has accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of sexually abusing him some three decades ago, as part of a lawsuit filed this month, has decided to reveal his name: Delvonn Heckard.
In a letter Tuesday to Murray’s attorney, Heckard’s lawyer Lincoln Beauregard states that he and his client decided to go public with the name so that Murray can no longer claim publicly that he doesn’t know who “D.H.” is. Heckard initially filed the legal complaint against Murray only under his initials.
“We have been sitting back mystified that Mayor Murray opted to hold press conferences, sit for television interviews and have his genitals examined while denying any knowledge as to our client without bothering to inquire his identity,” Beauregard’s letter to Murray’s Seattle attorney, Robert Sulkin, states.
The letter goes on to reveal Heckard’s identity and states that he “doubts Mr. Murray ever knew his last name. However, Mr. Heckard does expect Mr. Murray to recall ‘Delvon’ (sic) from the Capitol Hill days.”
