Whether consent age or not. This falls under the boss/employee category. Such as teacher/student. This kid was a page.
Oh, I agree 100%. If there was propositioning going on it was totally inappropriate...but, if 16 is the legal age of consent in DC, and sodomy isn't illegal, was a criminal offense committed (assuming there was ever sex)? It's similar to what keeps coming around on the "naughty teacher" threads around here. If a teacher ends up sleeping with a 16-year-old student, and sex with a 16-year-old is legal in that state, is there grounds for any punishment other than administrative punishment by the teacher's employer?
If Foley really was cruising for male pages (*gag*), at the very least I'd love to see all his benefits and pension yanked if he had one coming to him. But until we know more, I don't think we can say something criminally prosecutable happened.
