City Prosecutor Really Gets Around

You may recall a recent story I wrote here called “Prosecutor Accused of Pumping Info From Defendant’s Mom” in which I told you about a city prosecutor named Liam Michael Golden who was sleeping with the mother of a teen arson defendant.

Well, it seems that Golden wasn’t just sleeping with that defendant’s mom.

Now there is a complaint with the Washington State Bar Association alleging that he has screwed up as many as four cases with his sexual activities.

In the case I told you about before he was sleeping with a teen arson defendant’s mom. In another case he’s accused of sleeping with a victim’s mother. In a third case he was prosecuting a person accused of cyber stalking a woman he was sleeping with.

In the fourth case Golden seemed to manage to keep his pants up, but there are claims that he brought the case just to deflect the heat he was getting from the press. He decided to prosecute a 16 year old boy who sold drugs to the mayor’s 20 year old son. The mayor’s son died from a drug overdose.

In the cyber stalking case, Golden has decided to transfer the case to another prosecutor.

In the other three cases, it looks like Golden has some explaining to do.

    In Washington, a prosecutor is accused of sleeping with the defendant’s mother in order to get information about the defense strategy.  The teen boy is accused of arson.

    Lewis County Prosecutor Lewis Golden says he did have a sexual relationship with the accused arsonist’s mother, but that the affair ended when the teen was arrested.  He says he’s done nothing wrong and directed the deputy prosecutors not to give the boy any special treatment.

    The defense attorney has asked for the charges to be dismissed against the 17 year old boy, claiming that Golden manipulated and intimidated his mother.

    The mother of the defendant signed a sworn statement saying that Golden used their sexual relationship to control her and to deny her son the justice he deserves.
