WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Three more congressional pages have come forward with stories of "sexual approaches" from former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., ABC News reported Thursday.

Foley resigned his seat last Friday after ABC reported sexually explicit instant message exchanges with male teenage pages.

One young man, a member of the class of 2000, said Foley would come to the pages' dorm and offer rides in his BMW. None of the three wanted their names to appear.

"His e-mails developed into sexually explicit conversations, and he asked me for photographs of my erect penis," a page said.

Another young man, in the class of 2002, said Foley asked him if he had seen the penises of other pages. A member of the class of 1998 said he stopped returning Foley's e-mails as they became "more weird."

One former page who has been named is Jordan Edmund, now 21 and working on the Oklahoma gubernatorial campaign of GOP Rep. Ernest Istook. Edmund is represented by Stephen Jones, an Oklahoma City lawyer whose best-known client was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, the Naples, Fla., News reported.

Istook asked reporters to leave Edmund alone.

"The sad and sick behavior of Mark Foley was a total surprise to me when it was revealed," Istook said. "Law enforcement is doing its job, and I support that effort. Now we should all support and protect the victims, and they should not be hounded by the press."
