Photos of East Cleveland Mayor Eric Brewer dressed in drag and posing in sexy (MySpace-like) positions have surfaced just days before the primary election.

Brewer will not confirm or deny whether the photos are of him. He told reporters,

â€œAre you all part of the Eric Brewer for governor campaign? You need a sex scandal if you want to get to the next level.â€

But he did criticize WKYC Channel 3, saying the station aired the story Wednesday without contacting him for comment. He demanded the station reveal how it obtained the photos.

Brewer said, reading a statement outside his campaign headquarters, next to City Hall on Euclid Avenue,

“I had not seen any of the pictures until WKYC’s broadcast yesterday evening.”

Brewer accused his mayoral opponent, City Council President Gary Norton, and members of the Police Department of circulating copies of the photos. He believes police got involved because he fired multiple officers for misconduct during his first term.
