Lynnwood, Wash. – The Linwood City Council is facing intense control after the appointment of a new council member Jessica Roberts, whose past online activity has sparked fears.
Roberts, who was unanimously selected for the post, had an account only for her name, as well as the explicit content posted on Reddit.
As of Monday, both accounts were disabled, but the discovery ignited a heated debate about whether Roberts was fit to serve in public office.
Contents hiding in sight
History
Roberts’ explicit content was not hidden – it was publicly available through links to her Instagram profile, allowing visitors to have access to the content of her adults directly.
Statements that are said to be Roberts for Reddit – which are described as dark and quirky – have nourished concerns among council members. Fox 13 Seattle has chosen not to broadcast or publish these comments because of its graphic nature.

Roberts responds to the reverse reaction
What Roberts says
In response to the revelations, Roberts defended her qualification and rejected fears that her previous work would interfere with her duties.
“As I appreciate and understand the concern about the revelations about my personal life, it will not affect my ability to do the work I was assigned to do or my ability to serve the residents of my colleagues,” Roberts says in a statement to Fox 13 Seattle.
The process of verifying the Linwood Municipal Council called into question
What they say
Many residents and online commentators now question how Roberts’ origin was not disclosed before her appointment.
Nineteen candidates applied for the vacancy of the Council, and Roberts was among the last eight selected for interviews. During her interview on February 18, she focused on pedestrian -appropriate initiatives, saying: “I think my voice would be useful, especially in terms of pedestrian patency.”
Council members did not discuss her only account during the discussions, as he did not appear at that time.
What happens after that?
Time line
The Linwood City Council will meet on Thursday night to determine if Roberts should remain in place or whether the meeting should be canceled.
If the Council does not find a substitute until April 5, the decision will fall to the District Council of Snochms.
