Seattle Official Rejects Calls For Resignation Over Homeless, Pedophile, Sex-Offending Board Nominee<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A Seattle official is refusing to resign after defending a convicted pedophile sex offender<\/strong> nominated to a local homelessness board.<\/p>\n

During a May 3 Zoome meeting of a subcommittee of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCHRA), Committee co-chair Shanee Conston shouted down a Marine veteran and sexual assulat survivor Kristina Sawyckyj<\/strong>, after she brought up that the candidate, Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot is a convicted sex offender who had “touched” her on a previous occasion.<\/p>\n

“We have a code of ethics on this board and Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot is a sex offender \u2014 repeat sex offender \u2014 and I have had a bad experience with him,<\/strong>” said Sawyckyj, before an angry Colston cut her off and berated her for ‘outing’ the sex offender.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s just not okay, at all. I won\u2019t stand for that as a co-chair. We\u2019re not here to discover people\u2019s backgrounds,<\/strong>” yelled Colston. “And I\u2019m actually glad that is the case that he\u2019s here because sex offenders are another population that is most vulnerable that don\u2019t have housing. People do change.”<\/p>\n

“This is about equity and everyone, everyone, deserves housing. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re a sex offender.<\/strong> I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re Black. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re indigenous. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re a criminal. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re coming out of jail or prison. Everyone deserves housing,” she continued.<\/p>\n

A second board member tag-teamed with Colston, asking Sawyckyj if she had taken the matter to the police – which she said she had.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In case you are wondering, no this is not The Onion and yes, Crowfoot is a pedophile sex offender. As KATV.com reports<\/a>, 38-year-old Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot, was convicted of\u00a0communicating with a minor for immoral purposes in 2012<\/a>,<\/strong> according to the King County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Crowfoot was also charged with raping a minor in 2010<\/strong>,\u00a0according to Publicola<\/a>, and was also convicted of harboring a minor, who was a 13-year-old that he reportedly had sexual relations with<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, KCRHA Chief Program Officer Peter Lynn appealed unsuccessfully for Colston to resign<\/strong> over the issue, KOMO-TV <\/em>reports.<\/p>\n

The organization said in a statement that it “shares the concerns of our community about the nomination of a registered sex offender for the Continuum of Care Board, and does not support that nomination” of Whitaker to the board, Fox News<\/a><\/em> reports. “We agree that the behavior by the current Board Co-Chair in shouting down the board member who identified that the nominee is a registered sex offender was unacceptable, and we immediately asked the Co-Chair to resign.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
