Actually, it was yesterday, so he's out in time for tonight's festivities.
Portland Police today arrested Terry Bean, the Portland real estate investor, political fundraiser and LGBTQ pioneer.
He's also a pedophile. His former criminal attorney, Derek Ashton, was also arrested. It seems likely that the latter will eventually be disbarred.
Both men were arrested in connection with a series of events that led to the dismissal of Lane County sex abuse charges against Bean in 2015. Ashton represented Bean in 2015 when Bean first faced sex abuse charges in Lane County relating to a 2013 incident in which Bean and another man, Kiah Lawson, allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old boy in a Eugene hotel.
Ashton until recently represented Bean, a wealthy Democratic donor and a well-known gay rights activist, on charges that Bean sexually abused a 15-year-old boy in a Eugene motel room in 2013.
Lawson's already done two years in jail.
