Internet Messages Show Foley Sought to Rendezvous with Page
October 02, 2006 12:14 PM

Brian Ross and Maddy Sauer Report:

In addition to explicit sexual language, former Congressman Mark Foley's Internet messages also include repeated efforts to get the underage recipient to rendezvous with him at night.

"I would drive a few miles for a hot stud like you," Foley said in one message obtained by ABC News.

The FBI says it has opened a "preliminary investigation" of Foley's e-mails. Federal law enforcement officials say attempts by Foley to meet in person could constitute the necessary evidence for a federal charge of "soliciting for sex" with a minor on the Internet.

In another message, Foley, using the screen name Maf54, appears to describe having been together with the teen in San Diego.

1. Enticement of a minor for sexual contact is a crime

That should be the focus of all this.

2. You are right on that one

3. I wonder about crossing state lines also.

I think the teen would have to have been taken across a state line. Coverup should be the focus.
