Former governor disputes dead sex abuse victim's claim

In this photo taken Sept. 28, 1976, Portland mayor Neil Goldschmidt and Jewel Lansing, Democratic candidate for state treasurer, welcome Jimmy Carter to the city for two-day visit and busy campaigning. A former columnist for The Oregonian who spent many hours interviewing the woman abused as a young teenager by Neil Goldschmidt has released her account of the relationship following the woman's death last month. Goldschmidt, a former governor and Portland mayor, issued a public statement with the newspaper story saying he was saddened by the death but claiming many of the details were fabricated.
