I cant explain why I did it, the married, 40-year-old Yenni told New Orleans Fox 8 News. He maintained that many of the details revealed in a 2015 blog post by the boy about the affair were false and that he never had sexual contact with the teen beyond kissing, nor was he grooming the boy for a sexual relationship.
I cant I really cant answer it, said Yenni. I mean, it was just it was a stupid action. It was a stupid action to even get into this form of text messaging. It was something something that I cant explain why I did it.
Yenni met the boy at a Jesuit High School function. They began to exchange sexually charged messages. Yenni visited the boy at his job at a local mall and presented him with a pair of underwear. They kissed, but Yenni insists that was their only contact, which was not illegal because the age of consent for boys in Louisiana is 17.
Im not gay, Yenni replied.

(89,240 posts)5. notice he is most worried about being seen as gay
But not that he went after a teen or cheated on his wife.
You know why ? Just like vitter and trump they are just fine with it if it's a female.

(53,921 posts)6. There was a saying...
"The worst things for a politician is finding a dead woman in his bed or live man." Little has changed.
Of course, I don't know if this person is gay or not, people always seem to forget their is such an identity as "bi" and there are those "chance" encounters which have little to do with one's sexual orientation.
