Florida Republican Mark Foley, who represented his state in the U.S. House of Representatives, resigned in 2006 in the midst of a scandal involving sexually oriented emails.
The emails in question were sent by Foley to boys who had been pages in Congress. Ironically, Foley had spoken out in Congress against the activities of pedophiles. In fairness, he did vote in favor of allowing same-sex marriages.
A number of former pages came forward making charges of inappropriate conduct on Folwy's part over a period of roughly 10 years.
No physical sexual contact with minors was proved about the congressman and no criminal charges were filed against him.
Foley revealed that as a boy, he was abused by a member of the clergy and also revealed that he had a drinking problem.
