"I am tired of people treating this thing with Congressman Mark Foley like a joke. It is not funny. He's a danger to any young, slightly attractive young man on The Hill. I came to Washington because I care about the future of America. I wanted to be around good and decent men like President George Bush. Instead, I feel like a piece of meat. The worst part of it for me is there appear to be plenty of my fellow interns who don't mind Foley's particular "path to power." Please, if there is anyone who knows what I should do tell me. I am genuinely afraid of this man. Anytime he is around he just leers and one guy told me he asked for his email address and got a bunch of
invitations to go out and "party" whatever that means. Help. Help. Help."
And those fucking asshole men at the top of the GOP leadership IGNORED THIS! OMG! That poor fella was scared of FOLEY!!!! This fucking boils my blood that those Republican assholes ignored it! Mr. Foley DID SOLICIT THESE KIDS FOR SEXUAL FAVORS! Look at the bold text!
It appears the kid was looking for help and fell upon this sexual predators blog:

There are more e-mails from the kids:
"I saw your article’s about Congressional sex scandals with interns. Let me share what happened to me.I was near the end of my internship for Congressman Foley’s office he asked me for my email. I was not sure why he wanted but I gave it to him anyway. A few days later I got an email from him in the middle of the night asking me for pictures. I sent him a few pictures of me and other interns at work. A few days later he emailed me asking for more pictures of me but not from work. He was looking for personal pictures of me. I ignored the email he started emailing me telling me that he was going to be visiting my area. H e said he wanted to get together with me. he wanted me to come up to his hotel romm.
I think that he was looking to have sex with me. After\n that email I block him from my email address"
"After reading your post on skinterns I wanted to fill you in on what really goes on in the halls of Congress.
I used to be a House LA on the Hill working.
When I was working up there, folks use to refer to the Terrible Three – Barney Frank, Mark Foley, and Jim Kolbe.
Everyone knows about Barney Frank’s exploits…living with a man who ran a gay prostitute ring out of Frank’s house…and how he how used to hit on men much younger than him.
And Jim Kolbe…everyone who works on the Hill has heard rumors about Kolbe. One of my friends even told me that Kolbe hit on him on several occasions.
Despite all the stories, Frank and Kolbe are well respected because when they got caught, they admitted that they were gay.
That and neither Frank nor Kolbe have anything on Foley.
People were always talking about seeing Foley lurking in locker rooms around DC looking for sex, how he especially likes teenage boys, and frequents gay bars around D.C. and in his district."
"My dad who gives a lot of money to republicans got me an internship capitol hill. I thought that I was hot shit, having such a good internship after my freshman year of college. After a few weeks, I was finally learning my way around DC and I was enjoying my job.One night, I decided to go out with my new fake ID to my first gay bar. I went to this bar named Coblot. There was old guy who would not leave me alone. He kept following me around.
I tried to get him to leave me alone by going to the bathroom. Instead he followed me in and tried to grope me. A few days later my boss had me run something over to another congressmans office. It turned out that the guy who groped me was Representative Mark Foley."
