Richard “Scott” Silverthorne, mayor of the city of Fairfax, Virginia, and a supporter of Hillary Clinton, has been arrested after allegedly giving methamphetamine to an undercover detective in exchange for a homosexual encounter, according to Fairfax County police. The mayor allegedly promised to bring more men, turning the sexual event into an orgy.
The 50-year-old Silverthorne was arrested Thursday at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Tysons Corner, “I ask that you allow the process to proceed before rushing to judgment (as tough as that may be),” the mayor wrote on his Facebook page Friday.
In February, Silverthorne came out in support of Hillary Clinton for president, joining seven other Virginia “Mayor for Hillary.”
In late July, police received a tip that Silverthorne may have been trading meth for sex on a website which arranges casual sexual encounters between men. An undercover detective created a profile on the site, and Silverthorne contacted him within a few days, police said.
