Late Tuesday afternoon, the attorney for Mayor Ed Murray produced a report that he said was prepared this morning by Murrays doctor. According to the report, the mayor does not have a genital mole or bumpa key aspect of the allegations made against the mayor last week.
Murray, now running for reelection, has been accused in a civil lawsuit of paying an underage teen for sex decades agoa charge similar to those levelled by two men in 2008, according to The Seatte Times. One of the key pieces of evidence in the suit was the claim by the anonymous plaintiff that Murray has a recognizable bump or mole on his genitals. This mattered, in the bombshell Times story, because one of the previous accusers had also independently said Murray had a mole or bump on his genitals (though not in the same spot). According to the Times, the accusations against Murray in 2008 were not widely publicized.
Murrays lawyer Bob Sulkin called the mole the plaintiffs fingerprintthat is, the key piece of evidence objectively linking Murray to his accuser. With this doctors reportcreated by his regular doctor at the PolyClinic, Craig Pepin, MDnow public, Sulkin said, the allegations and suit against Murray ought to be dropped. See his full (minus followup questions) comments here:
The partly redacted doctors report produced by Sulkin says that Murrays groin has no dermatological lesions such as a mole, freckle or keratosis present on the penis or scrotum. No scars or evidence of prior surgery or dermatologic procedures.

I don't know who is who, politically, in this story, but having to go thru an examine to defend and prove the accuser is wrong. I wonder if the accuser will just go away now?
