Blog: The Sexually Explicit Internet Messages That Led to Fla. Rep. Foley's Resignation

Maf54: You in your boxers, too? Teen: Nope, just got home. I had a college interview that went late. Maf54: Well, strip down and get relaxed.

Another message:

Maf54: What ya wearing? Teen: tshirt and shorts Maf54: Love to slip them off of you.

And this one:

Maf54: Do I make you a little horny? Teen: A little. Maf54: Cool.

The language gets much more graphic, too graphic to be broadcast, and at one point the congressman appears to be describing Internet sex.

Federal authorities say such messages could result in Foley's prosecution, under some of the same laws he helped to enact.

"Adds up to soliciting underage children for sex," said Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent and now an ABC News consultant. "And what it amounts to is serious both state and federal violations that could potentially get you a number of years."

[Alter Kaker]

Yup, put that fellow behind bars.

[Velveeta]

Hang him.

[tkathy]

moron

[sappy]

glad he was caught.

[cgk]

Good RIDDANCE.

[Cicero]

What a turkey.

[Rome2000]

The only thing mor gay than Foley is you putting this breaking news

[Double Tap]

What an ignorant, disgusting freak.

Good riddance to him.

[synbad600]

O.M.G.

At least we know better than to try to defend this guy. (read: William Jefferson, democrat, Louisiana.)

[Zeroisanumber]

One more seat off of our side and onto the Dems. How many more do we have to give? Is anyone keeping count?

[cripplecreek]

OK my benifit of a doubt has dried up.

[Lucky9teen]

sick

[HHKrepublican_2]

GOP leaders need to denounce him now, (and point how he swtiched to the democrat party last week :] )

[pissant]

"Pardon me, may I push in your stool"

[true_blue_texican]

Did Barney Frank have any comment?

[Paloma_55]

LOL..that is what I was thinking too...

[Borges]

Do I make you a little horny?

[bahblahbah]

Foley should be prosecuted no matter what, but the kid said "A little". This seems like it could be political entrapment?

[Petronski]

Sounds like Foley's extra queer.

[pissant]

If you listened to ol pissant, you would have had no doubts! LOL

[proud_yank]

Ewwww, but still ROFL!

[Texaggie79]

FAP FAP FAP

[Husker24]

Dont these idiots realize that every teen on the internet is an undercover agent yet?

[Rome2000]

That Foley was a homosexual was well known for years.

And to think he was considering running for Senate.

[Clara Lou]

OK-- I'm sick. New keyboard, please.

[Petronski]

Did Barney Frank have any comment?

"This transcript is hot!"   ---Rep. Frank.

[Alter Kaker]

Whoa

One former page tells ABC News that his class was warned about Foley by people involved in the program.

Other pages told ABC News they were hesitant to report Foley because of his power in Congress.

In other words, the Capitol Page program new about this predator and continued to assign him young males as pages. What did they know and when did they know it? Heads should roll, ASAP.

[proud_yank]

I wonder if they're defending this guy over on DU since he's gay and a child molestor?

[King Black Robe]

Prosecute him. This is despicable.

[SevenofNine]

Sound like Austin Power reset with this guy

[dfwgator]

"Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

"Do you like movies about gladiators?"

[toldyou]

LOL!

[BrynS728]

Foley should be prosecuted no matter what, but the kid said "A little". This seems like it could be political entrapment?

If it is, the idjit fell right into it. But it doesn't matter - HE made the comment. It's irrelevant whether the kid responded or not. He cooked his own goose. He needs to be put away, the sicko.

[Rome2000]

BREAKING NEWS

BARNEY FRANK IS A GAY PEDOPHILE!!!

[KoRn]

Oh my god! This bastard needs to be drug out back and shot like the animal he is!!!!!!!!!

That son of a bitch better be glad I'm not this boy's father!

[mware]

The SOB was one of the members of the organization for Missing and Exploited Children.

[Nita Nupress]

Man. This one just SCREAMS reaction formation.

He crusaded for tough laws against those who used the Internet for sexual exploitation of children.

"They're sick people; they need mental health counseling," Foley said.

But, according to several former congressional pages, the congressman used the Internet to engage in sexually explicit exchanges.

I say hang him.

[daviscupper]

Yes. He wants Foley's little black book. Throw him in jail also.

[Texaggie79]

[dfwgator]

In other words, the Capitol Page program new about this predator and continued to assign him young males as pages

Shades of the Catholic Church. (BTW I'm Catholic myself, so I don't want to hear it)

[Shimmer128]

Sick man. I'd chop off the head of anyone who talked like this to my son, even if my son didn't stop it.
And i don't mean the one on his shoulders either.

[Texaggie79]

Obviously the kid is asking for it.

[Husker24]

They might as well hand him a .45 with one bullet.

[laconic]

This sounds like the transcripts from one of those stings that Chris Hansen has done for Dateline NBC, where otherwise "respectable" men respond to whom they believe are underaged kids (mostly male) over the Internet and show up at their homes to meet them (with bad purposes in mind), some even having seen the televised stings previously!! They come from all walks of life and have included a government agent, seminary student and a rabbi.

[mewzilla]

Any parents sending their minor children up to the Hill to intern need their heads examined.

[dollar_dog]

What is he, gay?
