Seattle Mayor Ed Murray will resign tomorrow, according to local media reports. It comes after allegations emerged that he sexually abused a younger cousin decades ago---the fifth person to do so.

“While the allegations against me are not true, it is important that my personal issues do not affect the ability of our City government to conduct the public’s business,” Murray said in a statement, according to The Seattle Times.
