Accuser’s lawyer wants to depose Seattle mayor on May 2
SEATTLE — The lawyer for a man suing Seattle’s mayor for alleged sexual abuse over several years in the 1980s has filed a court notice to have him deposed next month.
Lincoln Beauregard, who represents the 46-year-old man identified by the initials D.H., wants to have Mayor Ed Murray deposed on May 2, The Seattle Times reported (https://goo.gl/nuf3Tq).
Murray can expect to be questioned about the facts of the case including the “various potential causes of the medical matters referenced publicly by his attorneys” during a Tuesday news conference, according to the notice.
Murray and his lawyer, Robert Sulkin, have denied the allegations and at a Tuesday news conference Sulkin tried to discredit D.H., saying the case should be dropped because a medical exam refutes D.H.’s claims of a mole on the mayor’s body.
