Remember the two previous members of Congress who had a predaliction for underage pages? There was Republican Dan Crane of Illinois, who liked the young ladies, and who lost his reelection bid after tearfully admitting to having a sexual relationship with a page in 1980 ... and the aptly named Gerry Studds of Massachusetts, Democrat, who got it on with a male, 17-year-old page and then came out of the closet, literally turning his back on censure proceedings and then getting five more terms in office, Marion Berry style. Both men were a part of the Congressional page scandal of 1983. Where are they now?
Studds, 69, who retired from Congress in 1996, still lives in Massachuseetts, in an expensive condo with his partner, Dean Hara, 48, who he has been with since 1991. In 2004, the two participated in the rash of same sex marriages that torpedoed any chance of the Democratic Party taking back the Congress or the White House. The marriage was reported a year later. The age difference seems to indicate that in fact, old queens do indeed love the young'uns... (I keed, I keed!)
As for Crane? He was married with children at the time of the scandal, and really hasn't been seen since losing his seat. A Google search on him revealed nothing, and there's no "end date" on him in wikipedia, so I assume he's still kicking around there somewhere. (Note to young ladies, if you drop something in front of this guy, squat down to pick it up... and no matter what ... don't pull his finger...)
