Ore. Atty Gen Clears Portland Mayor in Affair



SALEM, Ore. -- Oregon's attorney general says there's no credible evidence that Portland Mayor Sam Adams broke the law in his 2005 relationship with a teenager.

The openly gay mayor has admitted he lied while campaigning for mayor about his relationship with Beau Breedlove. But Adams denies that the two were involved in a sexual relationship before Breedlove was 18.

Attorney General John Kroger issued a report Wednesday on his investigation into whether Adams had sexual contact with Breedlove before he turned 18, which would have been a misdemeanor.

Breedlove said he was 17 when he and Adams first kissed. But Kroger's report concluded that that account lacked corroborative evidence.
