They suddenly believe in redemption, especially around the Day of Atonement, when they get caught.

We lived in Portland, OR when this horrible man - mayor, then governor - got exposed for his crime of diddling a kid, ruining her life.

The toxic legacy of Neil Goldschmidt lives on

Based on what a woman named Elizabeth told the Oregonian's Margie Boulé, it was 40 years ago this month that then-Portland Mayor Neil Goldschmidt began sexually abusing her.

 

She was 13 and Goldschmidt was 35. Elizabeth told Boulé that Goldschmidt began grooming behavior with her when she was just 7 or 8, and that Goldschmidt's serial abuse and subsequent toxic relationship went on for an additional 14 years. Elizabeth died four years ago this month.

 

The abuse was brought to light in 2004 by Nigel Jaquiss at Willamette Week, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting.

 

Elizabeth led a tortured and shattered life after the abuse. The once bright teen from an exclusive Portland neighborhood went on to struggle with drugs and alcohol for the rest of her life. One of her attempts at a clean start ended when she was kidnapped and brutally raped in Seattle.

 

Goldschmidt paid money that kept Elizabeth quiet. If her allegations were true —the allegations that Goldschmidt's money kept her from talking about — then Goldschmidt had committed a felony.
