"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)?"

In Florida, Foley's home state, the age of Consent for minors is 16(heterosexual), 18 for Homosexuals. So yes if this is true, it is a criminal offense.

I have trouble beliving it's a different age of concent depending on your sexual orientation.

I'm not for most supposed 'gay rights' laws, but it doesn't seem right to me that the age of concent would be different for some reason.

There is actually a separate consent age based on whether the sex is hetero or homo?

I believe our Congress Critters have kept the age of consent at 16 in Dee Cee. Now we know why.
