Clarification requested: Foley, Franks and Studds

[LynneSin]

I remember the Barney Franks issue and as far as I was aware of, this was not with underage minors, just a guy running a prostituion ring out of Frank's home in DC (and please, correct me if I'm wrong).

Gerry Studd's issue was that he did have consensual sex with a 17-year-old back in 1973 but the information was not revealled until 10 years later. But because the partner was underage it was still in violation and Studd was censured.

If anything, I just want clarification because the "MEME" the right-wingers are going to come back with is that both Franks and Studds were 'guilty' but still kept their job and re-elected after the scandal.
