The Republican Mayor of Medford, NJ is not planning on resigning, and says he really can’t say if the pictures of him wearing only blue Calvin Klein underwear are real.

Myers said he won’t resign after a man purporting to work for Rentboy.com alleged Myers agreed to pay him $500 for sex, and promised him a car and a recording studio after the encounter. The man said that Myers said he was a mayor from New Jersey, and showed him identification.

“I can’t comment on something I don’t know,” Myers told the Courier-Post on Thursday. “This person hasn’t come forward. Unfortunately, this is a story on rumors and allegations.”

“These claims are ridiculous,” Myers said. “I believe I’ve been wronged by stories pinned on anonymous reports.”

The supposed Rentboy also posted pictures of someone he claimed was Myers, wearing nothing but blue Calvin Klein underwear. Here’s one picture, via Gawker:

When asked if the pictures are of him, Myers went with the Anthony Weiner line of defense, telling the Courier-Post “I can’t comment on something I don’t know.”
