There's the usual defenses. If not to make him look innocent, at least to ameliorate some of the charges. But of course, it doesn't work. Just because the boy was 16 doesn't make him a minor? What would be saying if Barney Frank had solicited a 16-year-old for sex? Also, the usual "he wanted it" defense and of course, the comparisons to Clinton. Weak defenses to be sure, but they are certainly out there.

Actually in the eyes of DC law 16 is not a minor(16 is the age of consent). I don't like that but that's a fact, also was foley as barney frank have a house of prostitution in his residence.

And guess which one is out of Congress, while the other holds power and prestige in the democrat party(the answer is barney frank).

Sure - the point is that even if 16 is legal, most people realize that a 50+ year old congressman hitting on a 16-year-old page is morally wrong. People have less issues with a person having consensual sex with real adults. And of course, Frank's constiutency is more forgiving of those types of things.

I don't think most people consider sex with an adult the same thing as sex with a 16-year-old. When we compare Foley to people such as Clinton or Frank for their sexual behavior, it just makes us look like worse moral relativists than the democrats who we accuse of doing the same.
