The co-chair of a King County Regional Homelessness Authority committee defended a registered sex offender’s appointment to a committee. But the committee includes one of his alleged victims. When the victim spoke up, she was loudly shouted down.
Thomas Whitaker, who goes by the Native American name Raven Crowfoot, was nominated for a seat on the King County Regional Homelessness Authority.
After the nomination was approved, one of the board members put it on the record that she was one of Whitaker’s victims. “We have a code of ethics on this board and Thomas Whitaker Raven Crowfoot is a sex offender, a repeat sex offender and I have had a bad experience with him,” she said.
