A Democratic congressional candidate has told police he was assaulted near downtown Spokane after making sexual advances to another man.
David R. Fox, who moved to Spokane from Port Angeles recently to run against Republican U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, told police he wasn't injured in Sunday's altercation. But he is pressing charges against the man.
Fox is one of four Democrats in the Aug. 17 primary. The attorney entered the race at the last minute and has no known campaign office or website. He could not be reached for comment.

The Clallam County sheriff has said Fox admitted engaging in sexual activity with his client but claimed it was consensual. In previous interviews, Fox has claimed he’s fallen victim to a “gay witch hunt,” and that his clients often fall in love with him.
Did Larry Craig go to jail?
Funny. When a Republican did this to another man (a member of the vice squad) they called it “disturbing the peace”.
Congressional candidate says he asked for sex, got assaulted
Washington, a 32-year-old Spokane resident, is out on $100 bond after being charged with misdemeanor assault and obstructing an officer.
The phone number listed on his candidate petition and the state’s online voter’s guide rings at his former Port Angeles residence, where the person who answered Thursday said “I really, honestly don’t know” how to contact Fox.
The cell phone Fox used at the beginning of the campaign is no longer in service, and efforts to contact him by e-mail were unsuccessful.
…being accused earlier this year of demanding a client expose himself during a consultation in the Clallam County jail. Fox denied the allegations in interviews with KOMO-TV in Seattle and the Peninsula Daily News, but Clallam County Sheriff Bill Benedict told the newspaper he did admit masturbating in the interview room. A special investigator from the state attorney general’s office concluded that no charges could be filed.
police reports show he has been accused of skipping out on a $14 tab at a downtown bar. A Crime Check report says he tried to pay with a check but didn’t have identification, and when the server asked him to wait to speak with the manager, “he used profanity and left without payment.” The same report says Fox is suspected of writing a bad check at another downtown restaurant, and asked to leave River Park Square mall or be cited for trespass.
Washington said it was because Fox had asked him for oral sex and “I just hit him, I went crazy.”
Fox later told the officer that he and Washington had been in the park “walking around and hiding from each other.” Fox said Washington was “leading him on” and when the officer asked what he meant, Fox said he had asked Washington for oral sex. At that point, Fox said, “he grabbed me in a bear hug and threw me on the ground…I don’t understand. I asked him nicely.”

His gaydar never fails. That man is in denial about his own homosexuality proclivities and that’s why he lashed out in agression at this poor politician. < /Anderson Pooper 720 >
Men who ask men for oral sex in the park go into the toilets and have sex in public. Somehow this is WAY different than a man tapping his foot in a stall.
You can BET it won’t become national news the way it was BIG NEWS in 2006.
He pleaded no contest to a lesser charge.
This is a resume enhancement for him! He will go far in the democrat party!
LOL
I would say he has a boundary issue. LOL.
PING!
exactly
Wasn’t that one of the cases she noted and started it?

Fudge packers never learn......
Change this to a Republican, and it’s all over the news 24/7. It’s a democrat, and no one is surprised, nothing in the news, business as usual.
Words fail me... What planet is this?
I guess this a$$ clown attorney and the local DA never heard of the “fighting words doctrine”. Sometimes words do provoke violence and in fact that is the normal response.
