You are right, sexual activity that the RATS had, they should have been expelled and charges brought.
I agree about the emails. And .. since the IM's were a "PRANK" .. do we even know that any of them are legit ..?? They appear to have been a cut and paste job - which to me smells of a hatchet job on what Foley actually said to them.
And .. the 18 yr old has admitted that he and Foley did discuss sexual issues. So .. I'm betting this was more a give and take of information .. and NOT THE SOLICITATION of sex by Foley.
Foley's overly-friendly attitude to young men is totally understandable. I'm not saying I approve of his actions .. which are suspect, but no physical contact was ever made with any of the Pages .. and that tells me he's not a pedophile .. just a gay man.
