There are laws, one of which Foley apparently helped author or pass, that criminalize using the internet to "entice" minors into sexual situations. My understanding (I haven't reviewed the statute) is that such situations include "internet sex" and sexually graphic or solicitous conduct. There also is an IM where Foley apparently invites two underage guys to his house for a drinking (and whatever) session.

But were these boys minors in DC, since the age limit is 16 there?

But to be a minor (for the sex part) would they have to be under the age of consent? Or, is there a different age of consent for this? I'm a little confused.

Legally, he can have sex with a 16-year-old page but he cannot solicit sex over the internet with anyone under 18.

Go figure.

That is my guess.

Foley is going to be prosecuted under one of the laws he helped author.

BOMBSHELL.
