Looks like Foley's emails may go back some years but in those earlier
incidents the pages just kept the knowledge to themselves

Ex-page says he saw suggestive e-mails

From Tribune news services
Published October 2, 2006

WASHINGTON -- A former House page said Sunday that in 2003 he saw sexually
suggestive e-mails that Rep. Mark Foley had sent to another former page.

Patrick McDonald, 21, now a senior at Ohio State University, said he
eventually learned of "three or four" pages from his 2001-2002
class who were sent such messages.

McDonald said he remembered saying at a 2003 page reunion, "If this
gets out, it will destroy him."

Former page Matthew Loraditch said Sunday he has known for years about the
"creepy" messages three 2002 classmates received from the
then-Florida representative. He said Foley sent them after the boys had
finished the House program. Each began innocuously but took a turn in tone,
said Loraditch, a senior at Towson University.

"They became explicit and similar to what we are seeing on the Web
sites right now," said Loraditch, 21, who runs the U.S. House Page
Alumni Association's Internet message board. "They didn't do anything
beside telling other pages about it."
