Former Florida congressman Mark Foley had cybersex with a teen while awaiting a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2003.
Former Florida congressman Mark Foley had cybersex while awaiting a vote on the House floor, ABC's Brian Ross and Maddy Sauer report. Foley, who resigned last Friday when it was revealed that he had exchanged explicit e-mails with an underage male page, interrupted a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2003 to engage in cyber sex with a high school student who had served as a congressional page, according to new Internet instant messages provided to ABC News by former pages.
ABC News now has obtained 52 separate instant message exchanges, which former pages say were sent by Foley, who used the screen name Maf54, at different times to two boys under the age of 18. The following message was dated April 2003, at approximately 7 p.m., according to the message time stamp:
Maf54: I miss you
Teen: ya me too
Maf54: we are still voting
Maf54: you miss me too
The exchange continues in which Foley and the teen both appear to describe having sexual climaxes.
Maf54: ok..i better go vote..did you know you would have this effect on me
Teen: lol I guessed
Teen: ya go vote...I don't want to keep you from doing our job
Maf54: can I have a good kiss goodnight
Teen: :-*

According to another message, Foley also invited the teen and a friend to come to his house near Capitol Hill so they could drink alcoholic beverages:
Teen: are you going to be in town over the veterans day weekend
Maf54: I may be now that your coming
Maf54: who you coming to visit
Teen: haha good stuff
Teen: umm no one really
Maf54: we will be adjourned ny then
