Predator Foley to Sit Tight In Rehab Till After Elections

Brian Skoloff / The Associated Press:
Former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley is remaining in treatment for alcoholism beyond his initial 30-day stay, his attorney said Wednesday. Foley checked into a 30-day treatment program at the Sierra Tucson center in Catalina, Ariz., near Tucson, on Oct. 1. It was not immediately clear how long Foley would remain there. The Florida Republican resigned from Congress in September after he was confronted with sexually explicit computer messages he had sent to male teenage congressional pages. His attorneys have since said that Foley is gay, suffers from alcohol addiction and was molested by a Catholic priest as a teenage altar boy.
