Gay rights activist Terry Bean was indicted on charges stemming from an incident in 2013 with a 15-year-old boy.
The charges that were brought against him were 2 counts of sodomy and 1 count of sexual abuse.
According to Daily Mail,
A high profile gay rights activist and Democrat fundraiser has been charged with sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy with his boyfriend.
Terry Bean, 66, co-founded two of the biggest national campaign groups and raised more than $500,000 for Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election bid.
He was arrested at his home in southwest Portland on Wednesday and indicted with two counts of third-degree sodomy and one count of third-degree sex abuse.
This all supposedly happened back in 2013.
From here, the story takes an odd turn. The Willamette Week reported,
As the case proceeded to trial, Bean reportedly offered the alleged underage victim $220,000 to accept a civil compromise—a type of alternative resolution to a criminal charge. But the trial judge refused to accept the civil compromise. Trial was set for August 11, 2015.
But weeks before the trial, the alleged victim simply disappeared. The trial was postponed but when the alleged victim surfaced, he refused to testify. Charges against Bean were dismissed, without prejudice, on Sept. 1, 2015. That meant the charges could be reinstated in the future, should circumstances change.
Now that is exactly what has happened.
Bean has held up his proclamation of his innocence since that time.
“I was falsely accused and completely innocent of every accusation that was made,” Bean said then. “I look forward to being able to tell the story of this conspiracy of lies, deceit, blackmail, malicious prosecution and homophobia now that this case has ended.”
Bean and his alleged victim may now get their days in court. On Jan. 4, A Lane County grand jury voted to re-indict Bean on the same charges. It is unclear what prompted the change in circumstances, however, the alleged victim recently filed a complaint with the Oregon State Bar, saying that the lawyer who represented him in the Bean case, Lori Deveny, never gave the alleged victim a $220,000 settlement that Bean apparently did pay. Deveny was the subject of this week’s cover story. (WW)
Oh well what did ya expect!

He was a partner of slick Willie
But Gays have to have special “Gay Rights” which means your a homophobe if you go after them for this kind of behavior…..I’m sick and tired of 3% of the population (that’s how many gays, lesbians, and trannys there are in the US) making laws for the rest of us! They don’t need their own set of rights…..the rights we all have should be just fine for gays also.
Are we really surprised, then? One way to change this – and these people will be on the forefront, I promise, is to simply lower the age of consent…tell me this isn’t going to become an issue…?! These disgusting POSs should be thrown in jail where they can bugger each other. leave the children alone…
Yeah. That sounds about right. Hope that kid’s “blood” kills this scumbag.
I would have as soon as I was aware of this. And I KNOW there are a LOT of people who agree with me.
Hey Nixon thru JFK put an American on the moon.
St. Obola unleashed a LOT of sexual deviancy on OUR country.
That IS what d-RATs are ALL about.
Vote Republican. We WILL get rid of RINOS too.
