''I am demanding that WKYC-TV3 identify any and all sources who can confirm that the pictures broadcast in its newscast were actually of me, where they were taken, who took the pictures, when they were taken and the identity of the alleged person they claim I knew who copied them from my computer.... Instead of enforcing state laws that prohibit the dissemination of obscene materials, I have been informed that members of the East Cleveland Police Department, along with the Chief of Police, were actively engaged in their dissemination....''

Portion of statement put out by the current Mayor of East Cleveland, OH, Eric Brewer. Apparently, the Mayor and members of the city's police force do not get along very well. Local TV staion WKYC reports that nearly 50 photos emerged, many of a male who closely resembles the mayor in women's lingerie, some sexually explicit. It is not entirely clear if Mayor Brewer is denying that the photos are of him or not. His upcoming election opponent, Gary Norton, says he had nothing to do with the photos, that they are a distraction for what the city needs, and he condemns whomever put them out. The police have responded to the Mayor's complaint with an equally unprofessional missive in which the mayor is mocked several times with the the word "HE" in quotes and capital letters. The timing of the Mayor's issues are only compounded by the death this week of his ailing father. (Cleveland Leader) (WKYC)
