Can someone tell me what crime has been committed here ?
Me too. Could go into a long post but what crime on the books. U.S., some other jurisdiction??? Yes bad actor but what crime????
RIDICULOUS. I hope Hastert and Republicans ignore this stupidity.
Federal officials familiar with the very early assessment of the Mark Foley e-mails say that at this point, there's no clear indication that federal laws were violated.
The law that might be involved is the prohibition on "enticement," which makes it a crime to use any interstate means of communication to entice minors to engage in any sexual act. But it as a relatively high threshold for prosecution -- the communication must explicitly propose a sexual act. The initial assessment, and it's a very early read, is that none of the e-mails that have been made public meet that test.
