WashPost: GOP Congressman Shown Sexually Explicit Foley Emails in 2000

A spokeswoman for Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) confirmed yesterday that a former page showed the congressman Internet messages that had made the youth feel uncomfortable with the direction Foley (R-Fla.) was taking their e-mail relationship. Last week, when the Foley matter erupted, a Kolbe staff member suggested to the former page that he take the matter to the clerk of the House, Karen Haas, said Kolbe's press secretary, Korenna Cline.

...

A source with direct knowledge of Kolbe's involvement said the messages shared with Kolbe were sexually explicit, and he read the contents to The Washington Post under condition that they are not reprinted. But Cline denied the source's characterization, saying only that the messages had made the former page feel uncomfortable. Nevertheless, she said, "corrective action" was taken. Cline said she still has not yet determined whether that action went beyond Kolbe's confrontation with Foley.

I heard one of his pages said he had sex with Foley.

Why anyone would admit that is bizzarre. But maybe that could be used to get charges against him if the parents want to persue it and it's not past statute of limitations.

I hope he gets some charges. I don't care much about the Scandal. He deserves all the bad press he gets. But, I seriously hope he gets some charges.

And all these e-mails and stuff from 6 years ago isn't gonna be as effective unless they can prove what was said in them like the recent ones. If they can link those to a current politician they'll have a pot of gold.

He was 21 when they had sex.

His sexual encounter was in the fall of 2000, he said. At the time, he was 21 and a graduate of a rural Northeastern college.
