As Twitchy has previously noted, wealthy Obama bundler, founder of the Human Rights Campaign and gay rights activist Terry Bean was arrested and charged with sex crimes involving a 15-year-old boy last December.
Bean shelled out more than $500,000 for President Obama and the Democrats in 2012.
The trial has been postponed because the teenager is now…missing.
Where's Terry Bean's alleged victim? Prosecutors say he fled San Diego on Amtrak, carrying a burner phone. http://t.co/giyGgWcRgn

The Oregonian reports:
A Lane County judge agreed Friday to reschedule the trial of prominent gay activist Terry Bean to allow the state more time to find its elusive star witness.
Bean, 66, and his former boyfriend, Kiah Loy Lawson, 25, are accused of having sex with the boy at a Eugene hotel in 2013. Each is charged with two counts of third-degree sodomy, a felony, and third-degree sexual abuse, a misdemeanor.
The trial was scheduled to start Tuesday in Lane County Circuit Court, but the boy, now 17, is nowhere to be found and the trial cannot proceed without him.
Circuit Judge Jay McAlpin ruled Friday that there was good reason for a delay and reset the trial to Sept. 1 over the opposition of attorneys representing Bean and the boy.

Maybe if the teenage victim in the sordid sex-abuse case involving Obama bunder and top Democratic donor Terry Bean were named “Cecil,” the national media would start paying attention to the scandal.
