A board member and co-founder of the national Human Rights Campaign with connections to San Francisco is facing charges that he and his ex-boyfriend had sex with a 15-year-old boy.
Terrence "Terry" Patrick Bean, 66, the HRC co-founder, and Kiah Loy Lawson, 25, were booked into custody last week after Lane County, Oregon grand jurors indicted them on two counts of sodomy in the third degree and sex abuse in the third degree, Sergeant Pete Simpson, a Portland, Oregon police spokesman, said in a news release.
Simpson said detectives from the Sex Crime Unit arrested Bean Wednesday, November 19 at his Southwest Portland home "after a Lane County Grand Jury indicted him on charges related to a 2013 incident with a juvenile male."
Bean was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Jail Wednesday, Simpson said. He was released the same day on $50,000 bail, according to Lieutenant Steve Alexander, a spokesman for the Multnomah County Sherriff's office. He is expected to be arraigned December 3 in Lane County.
