New allegations about repub Mayor, West

The allegations include claims that West pulled down the pants of boys at a Boy Scout camp during the late 1970s and, as a deputy, fondled a teenager during a search for marijuana in 1977.

Later, after moving to the state Legislature, West allegedly made an inappropriate sexual comment about the teenage son of state Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn.
...
Roach told The Spokesman-Review that West was kneeling by her desk in the Senate chamber in about 1990, conferring on a piece of legislation, when he saw her 18-year-old son, who was working as a tour guide in the state Capitol.

"West told me, 'I want to do to your son what no mother would want to know,' " Roach said. "He then got up and left."

Disgusted with West, Roach said she told fellow Republican Sen. Ann Anderson about the encounter. Roach said she also later told her son. Dan Roach, who is now a Republican state representative from Bonney Lake, confirmed West's comment through his mother.....

1. This guy is so disturbed.

It's amazing he's in public office. I hope someone can do something about that, though.

2. I don't understand why Ms Roach didn't

speak up about this before he was re-elected- or question him further on it. Seems a comment like that would have been newsworthy enough on its own.

3. Is this new?

We covered this extensively a couple weeks ago, search some key words and my handle.

4. I hadn't seen anything about this repub woman's claim

The paper says it's new but if it isn't, I missed it :hi:
