Paper: 8 Men Claim Encounters With Craig
Paper: 8 Men Claim Encounters With Craig
Published: 12/2/07, 6:25 PM EDT

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Eight men say they either had sex with Sen. Larry Craig or were targets of sexual advances by the Idaho Republican at various times during his political career, a newspaper reported Sunday.

One of the men is the former escort whose allegations disgraced the Rev. Ted Haggard, former president of the National Association of Evangelicals, the Idaho Statesman reported.

The newspaper identified four men and reported details of the encounters they say involved Craig. It also reported the accounts of four other men who did not agree to be identified but who described sexual advances or encounters involving the conservative Republican.

Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after being accused by an undercover officer of soliciting sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport and later called a news conference to deny that he is gay.

The newspaper acknowledged that its report was not based on definitive evidence. However, it said its investigation, including a review of travel and property records and background checks, found no evidence to disprove the accounts of the four identified men.

Craig and members of his staff declined to comment to the newspaper.

3. They're just mistaken
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Wide Stance) was just teaching a tap-dancing class, and was looking for pupils.

10. I'm wondering about his alleged encounters with underage Pages
Wasn't there a controversy back in the Reagan-Bush White House where Craig might have been involved? Whatever happened to the investigation of that situation?
