The age of consent in DC is apparently 16 years of age.
However, these pages were no longer in DC.
I believe federal rules apply in this situation, and 18 is going to be the defining age.
So, there might well have been a crime. I'm not sure.
Is there anyone left in America that hasn't been molested? First, the Patches defense, now this....geez, he is trying every which way to wiggle his way out of this.
True or not, i'm sick and tired of everyone blaming their sickness on someone else. We have become a society in which no one takes responsibility for their own actions.
A black, gay, alcoholic, Moslem, female sex abuse victim.
Oh, well in that case...
``As so often the case with victims of abuse, Mark kept his shame to himself for nearly 40 years,'' Roth told reporters in Florida. When Foley was ``13 to 15 he was molested by a clergyman.''
Oprah's producer are booking him as we speak. First interview goes to Oprah, then the media blitz to sell Foley's memoirs.
Title of memoirs: "A Thousand Little Pages"
Ugghhhh...
Well, it appears that he wasn't to blame for his actions.
Glad that I have never cast a vote for that lowlife RINO.
It's amazing how politicians are ALWAYS first to blame others for all issues at hand but never, ever make a mistake in their lives.
or a Kennedy
Doesn't excuse a thing but if the RATs press to hard on this, they're going to do some real damage to their gay constituents. After all, if a 16 year old isn't safe from a gay US Congressman, what chance does an 11 year old stand with a gay Scoutmaster?
The lefts favorite trick. Indict the GOP, indict the church. Split the "evangelical" voter block, get illegals on the rolls with no ID requirements and voila. Election victory.
I don't think it will work. I am will to bet another scandal comes along, but this time, with a (D) next to the name and it will all just suddenly disappear.
it's the homo agenda ping
I wouldn't be surprised if he's a plant, sent to do his dirtiest and then "disappear" into rehab somebody's private island getaway.
And I don't give a royal rip what happened when he was a kid. Get out the chainsaw!
The gay community will have nothing to do with him, IMO. They didn't exactly roll out the red carpet for McGreasey, and he was one of their own (democrat).
OK, so he get's porked in the church as a child!
Decided he liked it.
So now his lot in life is to enjoy the Hershey Highway??
I think not!!
According to wiki, he tried running as a Democrat for a while and switched parties when that wasn't working out for him. I think he has an ACU number in the 70s, which is far too low for me. I get antsy when they get below 95 or so.
I hope that's the RNC approach to this; hopefully it will backfire on the rats by making their past support for perversion look like, well, what it is...bad.
Let the meltdown commence.
