19. There's a DAMNED good reason
People here have the good sense to realize that the issue could easily turn to equating being gay with being a pedophile. If the LEGAL age of consent is 16 and all the boys he emailed were over 16 then he did nothing illegal, despite whatever you might think about it.

On the other hand, and this is important, he seriously violated house ethics rules. He seriously violated his position an trust people had when sending their high-school age children to work in congress.

Either way, it's a godsend and it's karma.
