New Foley Instant Messages; Had Internet Sex While Awaiting House Vote October 03, 2006 1:22 PM
Brian Ross and Maddy Sauer Report:
Former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) interrupted a vote on the floor of the House in 2003 to engage in Internet sex with a high school student who had served as a congressional page, according to new Internet instant messages provided to ABC News by former pages.
ABC News now has obtained 52 separate instant message exchanges, which former pages say were sent by Foley, using the screen name Maf54, to two different boys under the age of 18.
This message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp.

The exchange continues in which Foley and the teen both appear to describe having sexual orgasms.

Ahh, thanks!
It isn't on the page. It's a feature of MySpace Search. If you know someone's email, you can search for their profile.
You're awesome.
Who knew that Joycelyn Elders was prescient?
k..I have facebook not myspace.
Oh please, you know Tom's still your #1 friend!
Sure it was.
you stay the hell away from Tom!!! He's mine....MINE I tell ya!
It isn't against the law to be gay. I can't help it, that's the rule. You cannot investigate everyone about whom you have suspicions. And how are you going to explain "sex police" in the House budget?
You are reacting out of emotion (hint, not a good thing) and not with any type of reason.
"They all go into "rehab" to avoid the fallout!"
I know. The coward's way out.
I don't know if you've been reading the news lately, but if you happen to check the "internets" for information you may find that there was an incident with Congressman Mark Foley sending creepy emails to a 16-year-old former House page.
Why assume he was just some kid who didn't know ANY better than to have these "conversations" with this much older man? And, maybe he ISN'T sexually confused at all. Maybe this was all a game to him, maybe not. Maybe, maybe, maybe. We have yet to see. As far as the "boy's" part is concerned, at this point in time, it's pretty much all conjecture as to what his part was in this. We may never know. Now that Foley is out, it's all about destroying the Republican Party anyway. This is all smoke & mirrors now and how much traction the Democrats can gain with it. Sad, but true.
Peace.
I see no reason to fault Hastert for not having ESP.
Ah, but the IM recipient (as opposed to the email recipient) is responsible for what he does now. He's overage.
Do we know for sure who initiated every one of these IMs?
I have messages on backup disks from 1993, maybe even older.
Foley needed to go, but I want to know who was involved in this. If the IM's happend 3 years ago, the former page must be over 18, and therefore can be questioned. I want this done ASAP, and I want to know what the page's political affiliation is, and who his parents are. I am not letting the so-called victim off the hook, since some of those IM's indicated his willing participation.
Does anyone know if you have internet access while at Rehab? I would like to know if someone else has access to Foley's computer...
Yeah, it was. Johnny is not an out-of-touch old fart. Just accept that you stepped in it.
