-Did he know he was chatting with a teen and just how old was this teen?, i.e., was what he did criminal? -How would he know the age? Do these chatrooms try to limit accessibility to adults? -Was he using government property for this, as Clinton did?

The teen he was chatting with was a congressional page under 16 years of age. He knows how old pages are. He is also co-chair of the congressional caucus on exploited and abused children. There was no chat room. He knew the page in question. It was instant messanging. I dont know if he was using government property but he was probably using his office computer. According to other pages, he would hit on them in the halls of congress. Dont get the idea this guy was framed. The leadership knew that he was dicking around and told him to lay off.

Congressional pages must be 16 years of age on or before the day on which they start serving. That information is available at numerous congressional web sites.

I suggest before trying to make this scandal even worse, you should check your sources and quit spreading rumors.

I have noticed you "stirring the pot" on other threads, but this statement you made is completely untrue, and I am calling you on it.

One poster yesterday noted that according to various sources Foley used a hotel room and signed up through his AOL account.

Which, of course, leads us to some interesting questions like: (1) Who tracked him down to a hotel room, (3) Who tracked him down through AL..... etc.

Looks like someone had done some detective work earlier ~
