Some of the communication was done in florida where the consent law is 18.

So you're really nailing him on a technicality then. You say that the guy back in the 1980s should not have resigned because he didn't break the law. What he did was worse than what Foley did. Yet you act like what Foley did was worse just because it might have been a technical violation of the law if he e-mailed someone out of state. Which of the e-mails even broke the law? If the e-mail was done from Washignton DC to someone in Washington DC, then it is legal. His most explicit e-mails were to a guy that was 18 years old so that is legal. That means that many if not most of the e-mails were legal.

My point is that there is a lot of hypocrisy out there. I don't defend Foley or Studds.

I thought that in the state of Florida (I live here), legal age for a MALE was 16. ??? I'm not sure why everyone keeps bringing up the age of 18.

The state law does not differentiate between male and female. The law says that the consenting age is 16 IF the other adult is less than 24 years old and 18 if older. However, it is not illegal if the minor is MARRIED to the adult.

"However, for the sake of argument and clarification, if a person is less than 24 years old, they may enter into sexual contact with a person who is at least 16 years old."

I read somewhere recently that if the "minor" was a MALE, then the age was 16. Once I find that, I'll post that. I'm just trying to get this straight...

What I find laughable here is that some of the LAWS that were BROKEN were helped put in place by FOLEY.

No technicality here. He broke the law and Hastert covered it up.

Unless of course, you find it okay that a 16 year old boy is getting asked by his boss to measure his penis for him.
