More Skeletons in GOP Closet?

From Digby on a case other than Mark Foley's:

I've always thought that Dana Rohrabacher was a nasty piece of work because of his close friendship with the Taliban. But I had no idea he was also pals with one of the many Republican sexual deviants that are coming out of the woodwork:
    Thursday, September 28, 2006 - 3:00 pmNielsen: It's raining boys. Things have been looking up for accused child molester Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, the 36-year-old Christian conservative activist and lawyer with close ties to Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and Scott Baugh, head of the Orange County Republican Party.

    Police say Nielsen took a 14-year-old Westminster boy as his sex partner in 2003 and maintained a huge cache of man-boy pornography.

    But prosecutors have allowed their case against Nielsen, once an intern in the district attorney’s office, to stall for 40 months.Ironically, those delays have provoked new sex-crime allegations. Saying he fears a subversion of justice, a northern Virginia man claims that Nielsen repeatedly molested him when he was an adolescent.
