Former mayor charged with possessing child pornography

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — The former mayor of Beaverton, Oregon, has been charged with possessing child pornography. Federal prosecutors said Friday “between November 2014 and December 2015, Dennis “Denny” Doyle is alleged to have knowingly and unlawfully possessed digital material containing child pornography, including images depicting minors under twelve.” The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Doyle is expected to make his first court appearance Friday. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney. The 73-year-old served as a Beaverton’s councilman for more than a decade before he was elected mayor in 2008. He served three terms in the city’s top elected position, relinquishing the job in 2020 after he was beaten in a runoff election.
