Rep. Mark Foley's sex scandalHere's a clue for you, Paul. When a thirtysomething manager who is married turns out to be sneaking out for quiet evenings at the Motel No-Tell with his twentysomething secretary, that's a case of improper sex-related conduct. If there was unwanted pressure on the secretary to comply because of their business relationship, then it's definitely sexual harassment. When people find out about it, it's a sex scandal.

sexual harassment
However, when the thirtysomething male (be he a Congressman or not) is diddling (or at least attempting to diddle) a..... wait for it...

none of those terms apply. Not one bit. That's not a sexual "relationship" of any type, and it's not simply "harassment" either. Here are some terms you might try on for size:
- Child molestation
- Perversion
- Monstrosity
