This issue is not trivial. To me it is akin to a Treasury Secretary who has just been confirmed who can't even be honest with his own money. If Sam is going to lie like Geitner did, how can we expect him to be any more forthright in other dealings as mayor?
Also, he did groom this young man. It was all legal, but I agree with the police officer that Sam Adams did groom a minor for a relationship that occurred after the man was of adult age. Gay of straight that is manipulative and and misuse of power.
