Congress frustrates Foley scandal investigation
23rd August 2007 15:54
Tony Grew

Police in Florida have revealed they are being prevented from fully investigating the sexually-explicit internet communications between a former Congressman and male teenage House pages.

Republican Mark Foley represented the state's sixteenth district in the House of Representatives for 11 years and was chairman of the House caucus on missing and exploited children.

He resigned in September 2006 after ABC News reported he sent messages to current and former underage pages with references to sexual acts and genitalia.

Foley allegedly sent some 'overly-friendly' e-mails in August 2005 to a former page who was 16 years old at the time.

He was also accused of sending sexually explicit instant messages to House pages. The exchanges were later published on the internet.

If it is found that he attempted to seduce boys under the age of 18 using sexually explicit language he could face charges.

1. Is this part of the "you can't have our emails" thing?
