What I find noteworthy is that CNN didn't mention the possibility of underage sex.

The agents, who are "cooperating fully at this time," >have been placed on administrative leave, he said. ************************************************************************** Subscribe to Freematt's Alerts: Pro-Individual Rights Issues Send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words subscribe FA on the subject line.
