A Squared, you'd need to have lived in the Seattle area to appreciate all the twists and complexities of the whole sad Ed Murray fiasco (very short version, gay Seattle Mayor was accused by multiple men of having been sexually abused by Murray as minors - some accusations first reported over 20 years ago - ultimately resulting in his resignation). There were enough people (many employed by the city of Seattle) attempting to protect Murray and smear his alleged victims that the lawyer in question probably believed it was the only way to get his version of the story out.
Once the accusations of sexual misconduct became public, others quickly came forward with similar stories, which pretty much sealed Murray's fate. Some have postulated a similar motive here - to get other possible victims to come forward.
