Attorney: Foley Was Molested as a Teen by a Clergyman

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Mark Foley was molested between the ages 13 and 15 by a clergyman, his attorney Mark Roth told reporters late Tuesday.

Foley also wants Americans to know that he is a gay man but he never had sexual contact with a minor, Roth said. Foley was admitted on Saturday night to a mental health facility, where he will remain for at least 30 days.

Roth said Foley wanted to release the name and religious affiliation where his alleged molestation occurred, but was advised by civil counsel to delay naming names at this time. However, details of the clergyman, the timeframe and the situation will be released when counsel advises Foley to do so.

No, his attorney just said that at a press conference.

Well, I apologize to ableLight. I just didn't want to believe this crap.

"i was a victim" does not work as a defense for Repubs, only for Dems.

Michael Reagan was molested as a child. As far as I know he didn't take it out on boys as an adult.

He may well have been molested. Who knows. I don't give a damn at this point. It's up to him and his family to deal with his sickness. He'll get no sympathy here.

Oprah's producer are booking him as we speak.

First interview goes to Oprah, then the media blitz to sell Foley's memoirs.

Oh. Well by all means, that clears things up.

He's now a victim and a homosexual. Shouldn't he then be the new liberal hero?

If this is true it does far more damage to the homosexual agenda than Foley's own IMing. This places the must me monitored over the lifestyle like nothing else could.

If he were also Moslem, he would be off the hook.

Foley, you've done enough damage, don't try and indict the Church as well. You were an adult when you committed these acts.

Tragically, most molesters of boys were molested as children.

But not everyone who was molested is a molester.
