Reply #37: It is clear that Foley DID break laws, several of them, many times

[TechBear_Seattle]

The District of Columbia is governed exclusively by federal law. A law that Foley himself sponsored makes is a felony to engage in sexual relations with anyone younger than 18. One of the published emails mentions a tryst with a 16 year old page in San Diego; California's age of consent is 18, so Foley is guilty of a gross misdemeanor in that state. A different email mentions a tryst in St. Petersberg, Florida; in that state, the encounter was felony conduct with a minor.

In addition, both federal law and the laws of the mentioned states and district make sexual harassment a crime; several of the pages to have come forward were repeatedly targeted by Foley as objects of unwanted sexual attention despite voicing disinterest and requests to stop.
