6 Months Later, Still No Charges Vs. Foley

Investigation Continues Into Ex-Rep. Mark Foley's Net Sex Chats With Teenage Boys

(AP)  Six months after resigning from Congress, former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley remains under criminal investigation for sexually explicit Internet communications with underage boys but has not been charged, authorities said Wednesday.

"I can't really give any more detail other than to say we're still in the preliminary investigative stance and we are working with state authorities," said Debra Weierman, spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington field office.

Florida authorities announced their own criminal investigation in November but have remained tightlipped on the status since then.

Foley resigned Sept. 29 after being confronted with the lurid messages to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill.

He checked himself into an Arizona facility on Oct. 1 for what his attorneys said was treatment of "alcoholism and other behavioral problems." At the time, his attorney said Foley was gay, an alcoholic and had been molested by a priest as a teenage altar boy in Florida.

Attorney David Roth maintains Foley never had inappropriate sexual contact with the minors. He has declined further comment on any aspect of the case.

Federal law generally requires a person to meet or attempt to meet a minor for sex for it to be a crime. However, under laws in some states where the Florida Republican communicated with minors, an attempt to seduce the victim might be enough for a criminal case.

Under state law in Florida, where the age of consent is 18, a crime may have been committed if Foley is simply found to have seduced or attempted to seduce a minor using lewd or explicit language.

"It's definitely still an active investigation," Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokeswoman Kristen Perezluha said Wednesday.

Foley emerged publicly in West Palm Beach on Nov. 17 to attend a wake for his father, Edward, who died of cancer, but has rarely been seen in public since.

"6 Months Later, Still No Charges Vs. Foley"

How many men are are arrested on that 'gottcha' TV show for doing the same thing that the **** Congressman did?

Maybe they should get the Texans to investigate. LOL

Anyway, maybe the ex-Congressman being white might still cause him to avoid an arrest for

SOLICITING MINORS for ***;

And *** HARASSMENT (OF A MINOR at that)on the government job!

[cathaleen]

This guy is a pervert - he should be in jail.
Let's call Perverted Justice and put him on dateline.

[jn122736]

Remember the prosecutors who were fired either for prosecuting republicans or not prosecuting Democrats aggressively enough? The remainder probably got the message.

[agnim]

For gruesome generations after gruesome generations, the churches of child sodomy looked the other way and shuffled perverted priests around to prey at this church and that, while the CHILDREN were being sodomized and traumatized, and left to spread the deviance in the christian/western societies above all other societies.

Now the government is behaving just like the church and discovering up for its **** members who ALSO target the CHILDREN to spread **** deviance and perversion! Tsk-tsk.

[homespunlady]

This says it all --Great going DOJ, Heckuva job there.
Is Gonzales considering him as one of the replacements for the US Attys he fired?

[randalds]

I thought he said God cured him? Or was that Ted Haggard? Sometimes you need a program to tell these lying hypocritical republican's apart! besides we all knew he wasn't in jail yet. He's been here posting as Agnim for a long time.

[observantx]

Hey, the Repugnican pedophile poster boy is back in the news again.

Is he still in "rehab" or is he out cruising a playground somewhere?

Hey Gonzo! Why don't you fire the US attorney in charge of this case? Nothing has happened for over 6 months. Oh, that's right, Foley's a Repugnican, so the US attorney asleep at the wheel on this is doing just fine. An excellent performance review coming right up.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution's teenage boy inmates.

Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night *** parties.


The Texas Youth Comission controversy traces back to a criminal investigation conducted in 2005 by Texas Ranger Brian Burzynski. The investigation revealed key employees at the West Texas State School in Pyote, Texas, were systematically abusing youth inmates in their custody.

Two years later, still no charges against William (Cold Cash) Jefferson (D-LA). Guess CBS isn't bummed about that.

Hey don't complain to CBS, complain to your local republican U.S. Attorney. Or is it possible that Bush already fired all of the ones who actually do their jobs in favor of politically connected, but hugely unqualified houseboys like Alberto?

Nope....probably a leftover dope smoking Clintonian appointee who isn't doing his/her job either.

Can't be, Bush fired all of the US Attorney's when he took office, just like Clinton did and the first Bush, etc. Nope, he's definitely a loyal Bushie.

[antoniof123]

This is just like something you would except from this group and the loud mouth that says it someone left over from Clinton Bush fired all of them so yes it is only the Republicans that are to blame with this one. Hey how come he only posted once.

Nope, he's definitely a loyal Bushie.

If that's ture, it is the ultimate in pathetic. How much time should it take to bring charges on a man found with $90k in marked money in his freezer??? GAWD!!!

One would think so, but then again this is the same administration who has dropped the ball on everything, been behind the curve on everything and has shown themselves to be completely incompetent on everything. So I guess it's not too surprising that they screwed up here too.

[zootallures2]

And here's to another great right wing Republican Christian, ladies and gentlemen.

I can't wait to see the Western version of Islam. Imams will shave, the ceiling of the Mosque will have naked people painted on it, and Muhammad will heal you if you send in $100.00. And of course teenage boys will wear the head scarf instead of women.

[pakaal]

At least Foley's still under investigation, Rumsfeld walked without even a trial!

[kerimparrot]

THEY take care of themselves.You know who THEY are.

[inventagod]

Sorry, but Gonzo has been busy lately, he will get around to Foley in just a little while...

Monica wasn't a page. She was a consenting (and it appears enthusiastic) adult. Big difference.
