“Former Oregon Mayor and Joe Biden donor Dennis “Denny” Doyle has pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography, following his arrest in March,” The National Pulse reports.
Here’s some background info from a prior National Pulse report:
Dennis Doyle, 73, served as the Mayor of Beaverton, Oregon from 2008 until 2021, and during his time in office, allegedly “knowingly and unlawfully possessed digital material containing child pornography.”
The Department of Justice notes that the pornographic content Doyle possessed between November 2014 and December 2015 included “images defying minors under twelve.”
Doyle, who also served as a Beaverton city councilor for 14 years before becoming mayor, was a vocal proponent of combatting climate change through pursuing “green” development polices.
In an interview with Inside Climate News, Doyle reveals he was “pretty active” in environmental activism in the ‘60s while explaining his decision to join the Obama administration’s Better Buildings Challenge.
“This month, Beaverton became the first and only city of its size to join the Obama administration’s Better Buildings Challenge, which asks local governments and companies to cut energy and water use in their buildings by 20 percent by 2020,” explained the paper.
“We’ve had great support from the current [Obama] administration,” remarked Doyle in reference to his efforts to make Beaverton a more “sustainable” city.
Doyle entered the plea on Tuesday amidst an investigation into pornographic images of children identified as sexually exploited minors by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Oregon Live noted:
On his way out of the courtroom, Doyle said, “You know, we make mistakes.”
The charge was filed after an old computer thumb drive containing the pornography and other personal material belonging to Doyle was turned over to authorities. The FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force in Portland investigated the case.
Doyle, 74, appeared with Assistant Federal Public Defender Elizabeth Daily before U.S. District Judge Michael W. Mosman in federal court in downtown Portland. He’ll be sentenced at 10 a.m. on Jan. 24 and remains out of custody.
Doyle told the judge he’s in counseling.
Sentencing is due to be carried out in January.

The National Pulse reported:
Concerningly, Doyle was a Beaverton city councilor for over a decade, and was elected mayor in 2008, serving three terms. He also founded the Westside Metros Soccer Club which involved around 30 boys and girls soccer teams. In 2008, he was named Citizen of the Year by the Boy Scouts of America.
In an interview with Inside Climate News, Doyle said he was “pretty active” in environmental activism in the ‘60s, while explaining his decision to join the Obama administration’s Better Buildings Challenge.
“We’ve had great support from the current [Obama] administration,” remarked Doyle in reference to his efforts to make Beaverton a more “sustainable” city.
He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and a life term of supervised release.
The news of the Biden donor’s guilty plea comes as the President’s daughter’s diary, wherein she alleges he forced her to take “not appropriate” showers with him when she was a child, has still not yet been investigated by U.S. authorities.
