Richard Curtis, in his first public pronouncement in more than two days, repeated that he has done nothing wrong.

"I've done a lot of -- damn good for this community,” Curtis said in a brief phone interview with Columbian Editor Lou Brancaccio Thursday morning. “I am not the criminal here.”

Curtis, 48, resigned his state representative position Wednesday afternoon, only slightly more than 48 hours after becoming embroiled in a sex scandal that includes allegations that he wore women’s lingerie and offered to pay a 26-year-old male gay porn model $1,000 for unprotected sex.

Curtis, a married Republican who lives in La Center, had represented portions of Clark and Cowlitz counties in the Legislature for three years.
Since news of the rapidly unfolding scandal first broke Monday morning, Brancaccio is the only journalist to speak with the now disgraced former lawmaker.

"Richard didn't say much, actually,” Brancaccio said following their brief phone conversation at 10 a.m. “He's all lawyered up.”

Curtis said his attorney, John Wolfe of Seattle, has advised him to say nothing more publicly while there is still a chance he could be charged with solicitation in Spokane Municipal Court.

"He said if I spoke publicly, he would drop me like a hot potato," Curtis told Brancaccio.

Curtis said he realizes he needs to explain how he could vote against gay marriage and domestic partnerships and have a secret second life, but he cannot discuss such matters until all legal issues have been resolved.
Curtis said he would eventually give a full interview to The Columbian when the time is right.

Curtis spoke to Brancaccio at about 4 p.m. Monday and denied that he was gay or had sex with the man subsequently identified as Cody M. Castagna.

But police reports released Tuesday afternoon indicated that Curtis admitted to having sex with Castagna during an interview with Spokane police.

Curtis told police that he agreed to give Castagna $100 for “gas money” and denied he was offering to pay for sex. He said Castagna stole his wallet after he fell asleep and later threatened to expose his lifestyle if he did not pay him $1,000.

Castagna, however, told police that Curtis offered to pay him $1,000 for unprotected sex and gave him his wallet as “collateral” until he paid the full amount.

Seems like if you want freaky sex hook up with a republican.

I feel sorry for the guy. He's trying to do what he thinks is right in regards to his profession, but he is obviously is making big mistakes in his personal life.

What strikes me as interesting, is that "sexually-alternative" people for decades have been rejected and embarrassed by mainstream society and now when things like this happens, its the people who should understand his confusion and mistakes the most that nail him to the cross.

I do think that one can be gay and still be against gay marriage.

That is, he could be gay but still believe that it is wrong or that it violates the "sanctity" of marriage. Just like a pedophile congressman could still reasonably vote for laws against pedophiles.

However, if it is the case (and it most likey is) if he does not believe it to be wrong and was just doing it to secure his position then he is a hypocrit.
