Not really the guy was still page i.e. an employee of Congress being solicited for sex by a Congressman...
But then again if ther guy is just under 18 would it make it pedophilia or more statutory rape? .. and that assuming sex...
(If it as a 17 year old girl I wouldn't call it pedophilia but attempted statutory rape)
Foley deserves to get tosses but he more in the Clltion mold of hitting on subordinates vs a child molester
If the kids under 18 it attempted statutory rape over 18 it solicited a suborned for sex
Actually, the guy wasn't a page at the time the relationship started. The guy was part of the 2001-2002 "class". The conversations were in 2003.
If the kids under 18 it attempted statutory rape over 18 it solicited a suborned for sex
It's neither, as the page was over the age of 16 which is the age of consent in Washington D.C.
No, there is some ambiguity about the age, since the dinner-date after the 18th birthday exchange took place while he was 17 (though the lewd exchange was apparently after he turned 18).
There is no ambiguity about the abuse of authority question: he was no longer a page. The dinner was being arranged for a return visit to Washington. He was a page in 2002 (we know this because Passionate America has identified the recipient conclusively as a member of that Page class). The exhange took place near Christmas of 2002: after Congress had adjourned. He was no longer a page.
