This is not the first time that a Congressman has made inappropriate advances to a Page. About 20-25 years ago, Rep Crane (IN-R) was caught having a relationship with a female Page. He apologized and cried, but was not re-elected. The same year, Rep Studds (MA-D) was caught with a male Page. He asserted his right to do this with the boy (in my eyes, 16-17 year olds are still kids, never mind the position of authority issue regarding a Congressman and Page) and refused to apologize. He was actually re-elected by his constituency for the next 10 years. As I said before, it's disgraceful!
I never worried about my D on the Hill in regards to predatory adults as opposed to any other event/function/opportunity of which she was a participant. I would never forbid my S from applying to the program if that's what he wants to do when he is eligible. Luckily Foley is an aberration.
