Lawyer: Foley to name alleged abuser By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 20 minutes ago
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Mark Foley plans to reveal the name of a clergyman he says abused him as a teenager, a move his attorney said would deflate claims the former congressman fabricated the allegations as an excuse for sending sexually explicit e-mails to teenage pages.
Gerald Richman, Foley's civil attorney, said Tuesday that Foley has been "keeping this deep dark secret inside of him for many years."
"He's dealing with this issue, but it's going to take a lot of time."
Foley, 52, a Florida Republican, resigned last month after he was confronted with the e-mails. He has not been charged with a crime.
Some have charged that Foley made up the allegations as an excuse or to elicit public sympathy.
Richman said Foley has not told him the name of the clergyman but has told another attorney. He said the clergyman is still alive.
Foley has been in seclusion at an alcohol rehabilitation facility at an undisclosed location.
