Almost two years to the day disgraced former congressman Mark Foley resigned after ABC News questioned him about sexually explicit instant messages with former congressional pages, state officials announced Friday that he won't face criminal charges in Florida after they concluded a long investigation into his associations with teenaged boys.
Investigators determined there was "insufficient evidence to pursue criminal charges," according to an announcement released Friday afternoon by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Foley, who at the time was the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, resigned Sept. 29, 2006, hours after ABC News questioned him about instant messages with former congressional pages, some of whom were under the age of 18 at the time of the exchanges.
The House of Representatives denied requests from FDLE "to review any computer equipment or emails that Foley used while in office," according to a summary of the state investigation, so investigators were unable to obtain original records of e-mails and instant messages. Foley also denied investigators access to his personal computers, according to the report.

Didnt he admit at the time he had sent the messages?
If he wouldnt let investigators access his personal computers, get a warrant and dont bother asking for his permission.
We have a kiddy fiddler who is in a position of substantial power who has just gotten away scot free.. This is shameless.
