Spokane Mayor West accused of sodomizing 6th grade boy

Fork him.

West has denied allegations that he molested boys in the late 1970s and early 1980s, calling the claims "flat lies." West said he had "no clue" Hahn was molesting boys.

West has acknowledged, however, having recent sexual relationships with young men he met in an online chat room.

In the court documents released Wednesday, Galliher said he was between 8 and 12 years old when he was introduced to West by Hahn. As a boy, he claimed, he was given alcohol and small amounts of marijuana when he was sexually molested by the two men.....

During the deposition, Galliher was asked to describe being introduced to West.

"He molested me on that occasion," Galliher said of West.

"What did he do?" Lackie asked.

"Just fondling. Making me fondle him," Galliher said during the deposition, adding: "He stuck his penis in my mouth."

At another time, while riding his bicycle in Spokane Valley, Galliher said he was stopped by West, who was on duty as a deputy, driving a marked patrol car.

"What happened, if anything?" Lackie asked.

"Pretty much the same thing that happened up at Dave's apartment," Galliher responded, "but it was in the back of the car."

On another occasion, while hanging out with other youngsters near East Bowl, Galliher said, he was again picked up and sodomized by West, who was on duty. According to the documents, Galliher said he was verbally threatened and intimidated into believing his mother or brother would be arrested if he talked about the abuse.

"He'd arrest your mother or brother - for what?" Lackie asked.

"I don't know," Galliher responded. "Back then, it really didn't matter to me. I didn't - for whatever. He was a cop. He could probably arrest them for whatever he wanted to."
