Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post wonders why the teenage pages who knew Rep. Foley was a creep didn't say anything about it:

But did they really think that if they told the outside world that the co-chair
of the Exploited Children's Caucus was sending them, or their friends, graphic
sexual messages, that their future careers would be ruined? That they would be
washed up in politics? Isn't it more likely that they would be hailed as brave
for doing the right thing?

The world is arranged for the benefit of the powerful, Mr. Kurtz. Being called "brave" doesn't help you much if you don't survive the experience.
