According to reports, disgraced sexual predator Republican Representative Mark Foley will not be facing sex charges for his sick overtures to teenage pages in Congress. Over the last few days it has been reported that the courts will not allow Federal investigators to examine computers Foley used while he was as representative. Because Foley used the computers in his congressional office to solicit the minor pages it is impossible for the Feds to prosecute Foley without access to his computers.

While there is some new evidence that may nail Foley, it is truly unfortunate that someone as sick and twisted as Foley was to solicit innocent teenage pages, will get away with only losing his congressional seat. Members of Congress do deserve some element of protection for their correspondence when it comes to official business, however using federal government computers to break the law by soliciting sex from minors is not something that should be protected. Foley essentially admitted his guilt by resigning. Now the Feds should get the information they need and send Foley to a nice prison where he can receive some of his own medicine. The only problem with that is, he might like it.
