Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Mark Foley, who resigned his Florida congressional seat amid a scandal about e-mail messages to teenage pages, is unlikely to face criminal charges.
Sources close to the investigation told Scripps-Howard News Service that nothing has turned up to justify prosecution. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement expected the investigation to be completed in about a week, the news service reported Friday.
"My guess is they probably have been unable to find evidence of an actual relationship," said Joe diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. "Although the e-mails were suggestive, they didn't violate a statute."
Foley, a Republican who served six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, resigned from Congress just before the 2006 election after ABC News revealed that he had sent e-mail to congressional pages.
Foley’s lawyer, David Roth, has said that his client is a homosexual but not a pedophile.
