There are so many angry thoughts going through my head right now that I don't know where to start. First off, if Foley was molested as a child, I am very sorry he had to endure that. However, that does not excuse his disgusting actions. He clearly knew right from wrong and CHOSE to do this anyway. It infuriates me when people blame their past for their current circumstances. There are millions of us out there who have experienced sexual abuse, and not all of us are out there abusing someone else.
Also, about him now coming out of the closet. Clearly they are trying to spin this like oh the poor guy was abused, became conflicted with his sexuality, and was forced to live a life of secrets and pain. They are trying to make it look like he is a normal gay man with an affection of young men. That is such BS! The man was in a position of power and PREYED upon impressionable boys. There is a big difference between being gay and being a pedophile and I believe he is a pedophile. Makes me sick to my stomach. Anyone who knew about this and did nothing should be held accountable.
