Oh I am sorry, since these kids were 17 and 18 it is okay for a 52 yr old gay congressman to hit on them.
The boy's who parents complained was 16 at the time. But, thats okay, because it was legal and he was a consenting adult.
It has sunk in, we have a perverted gay congressman hitting on young "legal" "consenting" adults and the Republican leadership did not do enough to investigate this dirt bag. Hell, they even encouraged him to run fro re-election!

Your scenario has a few clunkers.
For a start, the parents refused to let the emails be used in an investigation. And I do believe Hastert responded. And he in the emails was pushing boundaries but did nothing to investigate.
Nobody has said what Foley did was alright. But it wasn't a hanging offense, not even illegal from what I have read. And the parents didn't want a big public scene. And the kid wasn't hurt.
I think you may be succumbing to the hyperbole.

You are almost there. The leadership had no information he was "hitting" on any body. The emails creeped out the kid, he told his parents, they told Rep Alexander who told Hastert who told Foley to stop.
Foley stopped and everybody was satisfied.

No it's NOT alright for a 52 yr old gay congressman to hit on them, if he did.
The point your missing is he did not break the law.
