And it's shocking to listen to those conservative talkshow hosts defend the congressman and blame the teenager like so many are doing.

If the age of consent is 16 and it was consenual - there is no illegal activity unless there is some law I do not know of that makes it illegal for an employer to seduce an employee (note -- I am unsure the employer/employee relationshp would exist here as Foley did not employee these pages, etc. )
Again, I am speaking only to the illegality -- not the morality. Moreover, I think Foloey was wrong for doing this and in states where the age of consent is 18, what he did was illegal.
The far more pressing question though, is the cover up
