11. Embarrassment indeed
Did you read the chat logs? The child was pretty participatory, saying sexually explicit stuff.

Very embarrassing to the child and family. There is no sexual assault alleged, so the harm to the child was probably limited, so they decided the cost to go public with this would have been great. Plus, he is a Republican, and their son was a page for a Louisiana Republican, so the family is undoubtedly a Republican contributor/booster.

There was no benefit to the family available by going public. Maybe Foley pulled a few strings to help the family on some unnamed matters, who knows.
