Marine veteran and sexual assault survivor Kristina Sawyckyi said she was 'touched' by the nominee

One Seattle official is refusing demands to resign after a tense committee hearing concerning the nomination of a convicted sex offender to a Seattle homelessness board resulted in her shouting at a board member.

The incident occurred during a May 3 Zoom meeting of a subcommittee of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority (KCRHA) when Marine veteran and sexual assault survivor Kristina Sawyckyj claimed the nominated sex offender, Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot, "touched" her on a previous occasion.

"We have a code of ethics on this board and Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot is a sex offender — repeat sex offender — and I have had a bad experience with him," Sawyckyj said.

Committee co-chair Shanee Colston then angrily jumped to defend Whitaker and scolded Sawyckyj for using the meeting to "out" someone despite the past convictions being public knowledge.

The man is a repeat sex offender - and worse - a pedophile - and has no business serving as a public official and moreover - is that the best they can do? They have the whole damned city, and they have to make apologies for a sex offender? What, there were no drug dealers to nominate?
