Rep. Weller (R-IL) refers new page allegation.

Rep. Jerry Weller (R-IL) “moved Thursday to inform the House that a former page or intern may have been the subject of inappropriate attention from another lawmaker.” A spokesman said “the congressman was not prepared to reveal the identity of the youth, the timing, nor the identity of the lawmaker, but felt confident that a former page or intern was ‘inappropriately invited to a social function by another congressman.’” Rep. Weller has been the focus of recent Internet rumors suggesting he had acted inappropriately towards a page.
