The news channel claims to have received information from a close friend of Breedlove who says Breedlove was only seventeen when the intern first had sex with Adams.

Breedlove's friend told KATU News that he heard from him almost four years ago that he was having sex with a Portland politician - at a time when Breedlove was 17 years old.

"He didn't say who, or his name, but said he was having sexual encounters with this person," he said.

"I just didn't think too much of it at the time," he said. "It's not the first guy who he had sex with that was older than 18.  He liked it, obviously.  Maybe he just didn't know that this guy was going to become the mayor of Portland."

KATU News also talked to Beau Breedlove's father, Marty, who also said he believes Beau Breedlove had sex with the mayor before he turned 18 years old. He said he bases that belief on the kissing his son talked about and the numerous trips to Portland when his son was only 17 years old.  However, he says his son has not told him exactly how old he was when the sex began.
