4. Definitely a sexual predator...
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 08:18 PM by misternormal
... The fact that he is gay, or appears so, is no relevance... I would feel exactly the same if he was hitting on 16 year old girls...

Leave the gay issue alone.

6. I voted for "sexual predator," but another term might be:

"Mr. Ruler"

7. Sexual Predator, absolutely.
Pederast, definitely.

Pedophile, No.

10. Thanks for the clarification re: pedophile vs. pederast
I'd still say "harasser," because though his e-mails and whatnot were very inappropriate, I don't think there's evidence that he actually followed through with any sort of physical sexual relationship with his intendeds.

Still doesn't excuse the behavior, though, however you slice it.

11. Harasser works, too, as so many pages are coming forward
and saying they did not welcome Foley's advances.

Nothing excuses his behavior under whatever name.

8. Serial child sexual predator - I know it's a mouthful, but the shoe fits.
