Turning the Page on Foley

Newsweek

Starting Point
In September 2006, Florida Rep. Mark Foley, who as head of the Caucus on Exploited and Missing Children called pedophiles "America's most depraved," is caught sending explicit e-mails and instant messages to teen male congressional pages.

Fever Pitch
Foley, a Republican, resigned abruptly that month and disappeared into alcohol rehab. Out of sight but hardly out of mind, he was dubbed the "October Surprise" of the 2006 midterm elections. Five weeks later, Democrats won Congress for the first time in 12 years.

Present Day
Now openly gay, Foley lives in the Palm Beach mansion owned by his longtime boyfriend, Layne Nisenbaum, a dermatologist. His former publicist, Carey O'Donnell, tells NEWSWEEK that Foley is plotting his next career move, probably in real estate. He can't do much, however, until he's cleared of legal liability in Florida, where a local law official says the investigation into his e-mails is "coming to a close, maybe even by Christmas."
