Give this up - you are being an idiot.  In many states having sex with a sixteen year old is not a crime.  In the rest sex with a sixteen year is statutory rape, not a child molesting crime.  Are you telling me you have never found a sixteen year old attractive? I am not defending Foley, I am just stating calling him a pederast is political grandstanding B.S. and feeds right into the Far Right Christian propaganda that all Homosexuals are Paedophiles.
 
 There is a big difference between being attracted to a post pubescent and a prebubescent.  There is a reason that child molesting is considered a much more heinous crime than statutory rape.  Not that statutory rape isn't bad, just child molesting is a lot worse.

 Wow.  First, look up the definition of pederast.  
Second, sounds like its not the gay community that defending pederasty here, but you. 
I'm glad no one's circling the wagons.
