Why is Foley waiting to name alleged abuser?

We find it very curious that disgraced former Florida Congressman Mark Foley kept silent about his alleged sexual abuse by a Catholic priest 30 years ago until he was caught with his hands in the congressional page cookie jar.

Admittedly, we have no direct experience as sexual abuse victims and do not know the pain and torment they must endure. However, we do find it just a bit convenient that this information comes out now.

To our minds, it's a great disservice to the many true abuse victims if Foley is merely playing a public relations game in a misguided attempt to deflect from his own perversions. And if it is true, why not just come right out and name the abuser instead of stringing it out with cryptic news conferences by his attorney?

If there is another pervert out there, name him and get him away from other children.
