SPOKANE, Wash. -
New allegations of misconduct surfaced Tuesday against Mayor James
West, who has rejected demands for his resignation amid allegations he
offered city jobs to men he met in gay online chat rooms.
According to The Spokesman-Review, state Sen. Pam Roach said when West
served in the Legislature, he made an inappropriate sexual comment to
her about her teenage son.
The newspaper also said a man claimed he was inappropriately touched
during a pat-down search when West was a sheriff's deputy in the
1970s.
Through his attorney, Bill Etter, West denied the published reports.
"Mr. West denies each and every one of these allegations," Etter said.
The new allegations were part of a series of articles the newspaper
has published about West, a conservative Republican and longtime
opponent of gay rights.
The Spokesman-Review has also reported allegations that West molested
two boys in the 1970s when he was a Boy Scout leader, and that he
offered gifts, favors and jobs at City Hall to young men he met
online.
