One Seattle official<\/a> 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 concerned citizen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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

“We have a code of ethics on this board and Thomas Whitaker-Raven Crowfoot is a sex offender \u2014 repeat sex offender \u2014 and I have had a bad experience with him,” Sawyckyj said.<\/p>\n

Then, committee co-chair Shanee Colston angrily jumped to defend Whitaker and scolded Sawyckyj for using the meeting to “out” someone despite the past convictions being public knowledge.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s just not okay, at all. I won\u2019t stand for that as a co-chair. We\u2019re not here to discover people\u2019s backgrounds,” Colston yelled, as Sawyckyj appeared to try and change the subject.<\/p>\n

Colston interrupted Sawyckyj, saying: “And I\u2019m actually glad that is the case that he\u2019s here because sex offenders<\/a> are another population that is most vulnerable that don\u2019t have housing. People do change.”<\/p>\n

Another board member jumped in, agreeing with Colston and asking Sawyckyj if she had taken the issue to the police<\/a>, to which she said she had.<\/p>\n

Colston, however, continued laying into Sawyckyj, saying: “As the co-chair, I\u2019m telling you that you cannot talk like that in this meeting. I will not have that here. If anyone wants to talk like that you will be muted and removed from this board meeting.”<\/p>\n

“This is about equity and everyone, everyone, deserves housing. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re a sex offender. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re Black. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re indigenous. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re a criminal. I don\u2019t care if they\u2019re coming out of jail or prison. Everyone deserves housing,” she continued.<\/p>\n

According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, Whitaker is a registered sex offender with two offenses described as “communication with minors for immoral purposes.”<\/p>\n

KCRHA Chief Program Officer Peter Lynn appealed unsuccessfully for Colston to resign from the subcommittee this week, according to local affiliate KOMO-TV.<\/p>\n

In a statement, KCRHA said it “shares the concerns of our community about the nomination of a registered sex offender for the Continuum of Care Board, and does not support that nomination” of Whitaker to the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The statement also blasted Colston’s behavior toward Sawyckyj.<\/p>\n

“We agree that the behavior by the current Board Co-Chair in shouting down the board member who identified that the nominee is a registered sex offender was unacceptable, and we immediately asked the Co-Chair to resign,” it said.<\/p>\n

Colston continues to oppose resignation requests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
