A posting of an unredacted instant message sessions between Rep. Mark Foley and a former congressional page has apparently exposed the identity of the now 21 year-old accuser...
ABC RELEASED TRANSCRIPT OF ONE CHAT BETWEEN FOLEY AND A MAN WHO WAS 18 AT THE TIME OF THE INSTANT MESSAGE EXCHANGE.... NETWORK STATED THE MESSAGE WAS TO 'UNDER AGE' TEEN... DEVELOPING...
ABC ONLINE GLITCH LEADS TO IDENTITY OF FOLEY ACCUSER; FEATURED IM EXCHANGE WAS WITH 18 YEAR OLD

In view of all that, Congressman Foley oughta get his Congressional seat back, and sincere apologies from everyone involved.
Aren't there statuatory rape laws in Massachussets? The young man was 17 at the time. Shouldn't Studds be in jail if that is the case?
I know this is a laughable notion, given that he was a Democrat, but still...
I would not doubt that for a second.
How could ABC make a mistake like this? Did they honestly believe it wouldn't be found out that the kid was eighteen when the IM took place?
Now that they've been found out, its just one seat and questionable at that.
ABC has now lost all credibility.
Who cares if a story is posted WAY DOWN on an earler thread.
Why don't you already posted people leave everyone else alone?
A-ha!
Which I am sure the FBI is investigating.
Ok, you must have had problems with subtraction in shcool. Put up your fingers, count 1, 2. February to
arch, March to
April! Birthday in February, emails sent in APRIL!!!
I guess I'm being stupid here, but I thought this whole mess was because the congressman had approached a child who was 16 years old. Now I hear the guy was either 18 or almost 18. I'm having a hard time getting excited over an 18 year old man who can't figure out how to handle unwanted advances from an old man. I thought I read the age of sexual consent was 16. Would some smart person please explain what is going on to me?
You're kidding right? Blogger is the Edsall of the internet.
He could have put a "publish on" date in and the program burped or something.
Anyway, what's your point? All the author said was that he didn't finish all he was going to say before his post, for whatever reason, got published and that, therefore, he was going to come back later and complete his article.
It doesn't matter if it took place before he was 18. He's talking about meeting after he turns 18, which is perfectly legal.
If they were fake, why not come out and say so?
Tell me how, and I'll go into vital statistics and find his birthday for you.
All good points.
In the IM's, Jordan Edmund worries about his Mom finding out what he's up to. I wonder how Jordan feels now that his Mom can read the total content of his "dirty talk" with a 50+ homosexual? And so can millions of other people.

given the nature of the discussion, might want to change your tag line.
Now you are deliberately twisting words. You know darn well that that post wasn't saying that it was OK for him to break the law for only a few weeks. The post was obviously pointing to the fact that the sexual messages, which were made quite a few months into the year, occured AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY which was only a few weeks into the year!
That does it. It is pointless talking to you anymore. You have been told, time and again, that the messages that could possibly make this illegal, were sent AFTER his birthday. There are timestamps on the freaking IMs. If screen caps and timestamps don't do it for you, then nothing will. You can continue your game with others who will fall for it.
You think we don't already know that from all your other replies.
Read on and learn instead of interrupting like a perpetual question machine.
Hugh just asks the question. No answers, just questions.
According to Page Alumni website, this guy finished his Page duty in 2002. The blog contains screen shots of this webpage stating the date he finshed his service. HE WAS NOT A PAGE OR INTERN AT THIS POINT!!! :-)
