I was under the impression that FRank got nailed for attempting to engage in underage sex with someone...maybe I'm wrong. I'll look.
Frank faced scandal in late 1989 when the Washington Times ran an article based on an interview with Stephen Gobie, a hustler and convicted felon, who had worked as Frank's housekeeper and driver for two years beginning in 1985. Gobie, who had lived in a part of Frank's townhouse during the period of his employment, had been running a prostitution ring and claimed that Frank had been aware of his activities.
Frank acknowledged that he knew of Gobie's background but said that he had tried "to be Henry Higgins" and transform the young man's life. Once the landlady told him of the suspicious activity that was occurring at the townhouse in his absence, however, he had immediately fired Gobie.
......
Frank himself called for an investigation by the House ethics committee, which eventually concluded that there was no evidence that Frank had been aware of Gobie's prostitution operation but that he had arranged for the waiving of parking tickets that Gobie had received while using his car.
After a bitter and occasionally raucous four-hour debate in July 1990, the full House voted to reprimand Frank, decisively rejecting a motion for expulsion proposed by conservative Republican Representative William Dannemeyer and another for censure put forth by Republican whip Newt Gingrich.
FYI: Democrats voted 141 for, 94 against. Republicans voted 66 for, 132 against.
