NJ Mayor Resigns After Being Accused of Having Sex With Male Escort

(The Blaze/AP) The town’s married mayor, accused on a website two months ago of having sex with a prostitute at a California hotel, resigned Monday.
The anonymous allegation against Republican Chris Myers, a father of two, included a photo of a man who appeared to be him in his underwear.
The person making the allegation claimed to be a prostitute. He said Myers contacted him through a male escort website and they met at a Newport Beach, Calif., hotel. He complained Myers paid him $500 but didn’t fulfill promises of a car and other gifts. He said on the website that the broken promise was the reason he was taking his story public.
The website was taken down soon after becoming public.
Myers, in an interview with a reporter for the Courier-Post newspaper in October, refused to comment on the allegations but didn’t deny them. At a November township council meeting, Myers denied the claims, calling the Internet “a murky, anonymous place.”
His resignation letter submitted to town officials Monday did not mention the scandal.
“My work commitments will not allow me to devote the time that is needed in the months ahead,” Myers wrote.
Some other council members have complained that the allegations against Myers have gotten in the way of the business of the town of 23,000 residents about 20 miles east of Philadelphia. Myers missed one township council meeting and postponed another after the allegations surfaced.
Myers won the GOP nomination for a congressional seat in 2008 but lost the general election. He has been suspended as a vice president at technology manufacturer Lockheed Martin Corp.

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 2:44pmThis is an important story. We should follow the life & times of this prostitute. I am sure it will make a great morality tale. Was he molested as a child. How much money has he made & what does he have to show for it? Will he die alone? …
We should do the same with the exec. Was he popular in high school got laid early, so now everything is old hat & boring? So he looks for some strange? …

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 2:42pmUntil we as a society DEMAND accountability these things will persist. Party lines is a non starter on things like this. The punishment for betrayal of the public trust should be a long prison term. Principle matters, and sound character should be a prerequisite. Betray that and get what you deserve thru robbing the public coffers with your frivolous and decadent morality.

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 2:34pmTerrible and totally innapropriate behavior for a public official. Take away his pension, health and any other benefits he was due in the future. He can keep what he has already received as payment for the service he “apparently” provided. Oh and give him a 10 year suspension from running for any office.

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 2:48pmWhy take away his pension? Did he engage in prostitution on government time? Did he misuse government resources?
Lockheed Martin has a right to demote him or fire him, because he represents Lockheed. Lockheed Martin probably paid for the travel to California for business.
