Video Detroit Mayor In Hot Water Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has been charged with an 8-count indictment that points to an alleged sex scandal involving his top aide, Christine Beatty. Dean Reynolds reports.
James Thomas, a lawyer for Kilpatrick, questioned the accuracy of the quoted messages and criticized their publication.
"The case is being driven by the salaciousness," Thomas told reporters Tuesday afternoon. "It was improper to print it at this point in time. It's going to affect his ability to have a fair trial. We plan on vigorously challenging those documents, and setting them up to the scrutiny we feel the media should have put it up to."
Mayer Morganroth, who represents Beatty, said he believes the text messages were obtained illegally and the excerpts should not have been released. Stefani was out of state and unavailable for comment, his office said.
The sometimes graphic excerpts include the frequent use of the N-word, or derivatives of it, as a term of endearment.
On Sept. 15, 2002, Beatty described a sex act she wanted to perform on the mayor but said she didn't know how to ask him to let her do it. He replied: "Next time, just tell me to sit down, shut up and do your thing!"
Later that month, the pair appeared to arrange a sexual encounter in Beatty's office. On Sept. 19, 2002, Beatty wrote to Kilpatrick: "I have wanted to hold you so badly all day, but I was trying to stay focused on work. So, I promise, not to keep you longer than 15 minutes."
Kilpatrick replied: "Don't promise (N-word.)"
Beatty said: "I'm in my office. Do you want me to come to yours or you coming to mine?"
Kilpatrick said: "I'm coming down there ... LOL ditto. Freaky Chris!"
Beatty and Kilpatrick have known each other since high school, and in several excerpts, Beatty expressed her insecurity over the relationship and asked Kilpatrick to promise her she'd always be his "woman."
On April 27, 2003, in response to Beatty's query, Kilpatrick said: "You were my girl for as long as I can remember. I was too young and stupid to know. I promise for the rest of my life you will be my girl."
Earlier that month, on April 8, 2003, Beatty wrote: "You told me that you would be my boyfriend everyday until I was your wife. Are you renigging?"
Kilpatrick replied: "Hell no! Don't start none. Won't be none ...! LOL".
Kilpatrick remains married to his wife, Carlita. Beatty left her husband at the end of April 2003, according to the document.
On April 13, 2003, Beatty wrote to Kilpatrick: "It is sometimes so amazing how much I love you. I can't even describe most of the time how I feel inside when I think about you. You are an amazing man. Everything about you makes me love you. Your passion about life, your sense of humor, your presence, and your love of family."
The intimacy and another reference to marriage was part of an April 25, 2003 exchange.
Beatty wrote: "No. I'm not gone from you. I never am. Every second that I was quiet, I thinking about you."
Kilpatrick replied: "Thinking about what?"
Beatty: "Thinking about doing a lot of things! Thinking that how hard you diss me, I still want to be in your arms, kiss you, hug you, love you. Listening to you speak and wishing that you were my husband."
On May 1, 2003, Beatty referenced her separation from her husband: "I can't see living this way with us being a 'secret' forever. I love you so much and I want to tell somebody, someday! (Smile). Secondly, this separation is really real and it kind of slapped 'lonely' in my mind ... when you didn't come on Saturday until 3 hours later, that just kind of topped it off for me. So I'm sorry if I've been trippin. I could only two way this! I couldn't have said it to you personally!"
Kilpatrick responded: "In this important and somewhat confusing time in your life, please know with all our hearts and soul that I love you. And you will never, never be alone."

- Awwww...aren''t they a cute couple. Now fire his stupid *ss.
What a freakin'' joke of a mayor. Detroit doesn''t need this loser sucking any more of the cities money for his poor execution of an affair. - Reply to this comment
- Detroit is a city to get the heck out of as soon as possible. No one is moving to Detroit for a "better life."
This kind of hanky panky doesn''t even make me raise an eyebrow. If it involved farm animals, maybe. Space aliens, YES. - Reply to this comment

Dis, every one of us has done lots of things that are morally wrong.
And those that deny it are lying, so right there they are morally weak.

- They all lied about the affair, so did Clinton, so what!!! Go after him for the REAL crime of firing people that were investigating him. He should have been investigated by another organization besides the police dept. Hello, he is the boss. What would happen if you were investigating your boss? FIRED, you would be.
