On Oct. 21, the Burlington County Times reported that a man who wouldn't identify himself told the paper that Myers had paid him $500 during an encounter in a hotel more than a year ago and promised him a car and other gifts. The man provided a website narrative of the encounter, which has since been removed from the Internet.
The website contained a picture of Myers lying on a bed in his underwear, according to the story, as well as photos of a township identification badge.
Referring to the anonymous person who gave his account to the newspaper, Myers said: "Anyone could just say anything they want . . . and that's just plain wrong.
"I'm not making any more comments on this issue," Myers added. "We're going back to the business at hand in Medford."
About 10 people addressed the council Wednesday night, but only a couple of them pressed the issue.
"You're stonewalling - that's what you're doing," Mike Reilly said. "The people of this community have a right to know what's going on."
He told council members that "if you people have any decency, you will get him to explain how his picture and ID got on the Internet or take a vote of no confidence."
In response, Myers said: "The Internet is a murky, anonymous place. I'm denying the allegations and making no further comment."
Councilman Mark Sander told Reilly his remarks were "an ugly personal attack."
Terri Palmer asked Myers: "Are you going to consider stepping down due to what's going on?"
Myers repeated that he would not comment further.
Late-night host Jay Leno had referred to the story in an opening monologue last week, comparing the matter to Anthony Weiner's troubles. Leno also riffed on a news report that quoted Myers saying someone may have sneaked into his hotel room to take photos of him sleeping.
