A county commissioner at the time, Adams, 44, insists that even though he met Breedlove when Breedlove was only seventeen, they did not have sex until Breedlove was 18.

Adams told Portland press Monday:

"Until today I have not discussed the true nature of the relationship with anyone. Not my friends, family, staff or colleagues on the council. I have apologized to Beau Breedlove for asking him to lie for me. I want to apologize to my colleagues for my dishonesty and especially to the people of Portland for my dishonesty. I should have been truthful from the beginning."
