First let me say, Fuck Mark Foley.
Just making the point clear that I don't give a crap what happened to Mark Foley when he was thirteen in the context of how it affects him today. There's no excuse for his behavior.
That said, what about Father Anthony Mercieca, the priest that supposedly molested Foley as a child. His response?
"Once maybe I touched him or so, but didn't, it wasn't -- because it's not something you call, I mean, rape or penetration or anything like that you know. We were just fondling," Father Anthony Mercieca, 69, said in a phone interview with CNN affiliate WPTV from his home on the Maltese island of Gozo in the Mediterranean.
Mercieca earlier told The Associated Press that a Florida newspaper "exaggerated" the inappropriateness of his and Foley's relationship.
"He seemed to like it, you know? So it was sort of more like a spontaneous thing," Mercieca told WPTV, a West Palm Beach, Florida, station.
Mercieca, however, rejected the idea that he sexually abused Foley, saying, "See abuse, it's a bad word, you know, because abuse, you abuse someone against his will. But it involved just spontaneousness, you know?"
This scumbag is still a priest. *sigh*
