Florida law enforcement officials are building a possible criminal case against disgraced former Congressman Mark Foley, R-Fla., based on sexually explicit instant messages that were sent from Pensacola, Fla., to an underage high school student, thereby falling under the state's tough law on Internet sexual predators, ABC News has learned.
"It's a broad statute, and it encompasses a lot of activity," said Maureen Horkan, the director of the Child Predator CyberCrime Unit in the Florida Attorney General's office.
Foley has begun to re-emerge publicly in Palm Beach, Fla., after spending weeks at an Arizona rehabilitation center for what his lawyer described as issues involving substance and his own alleged sexual abuse as a minor.
Unlike federal law, the Florida statute makes it a crime simply to use lewd or explicit language "that is harmful to minors." More on the story.

If only Florida had better rules concerning the first Pres. election, but really not only Florida but every state should have these tougher rules on b this lewd behaviour.
That's true...
Fingers Foley got out just in time for Gonzales to make sure he never gets charged. In Texas officials were rapping kids and Gonzales wouldn't let anyone be charged and ended the investigation as the officials continue to rape kids. Now Gonzales is working for the kids but is it for their safety or to allow others to harm them. If Bush succeeds in kicking the Democrat out Fingers Foley can get his job back and continue to lead the Child Protection Act as he selects the kids he wants to abuse. As for Florida thinking they can file charges against Fingers Foley well the FBI, Attorney General, KCR Unit and the White House will intervene and stop anyone from charges a loyal GOP like Fingers.
