US Representative Barney Frank acknowledged yesterday that for a brief time in 1989 he saw a psychiatrist and took antidepressant medication as he battled allegations from a gay prostitute and companion who had operated a sex-for-hire ring in the congressman's home. and Frank ,the smartest guy in congress, didn't know about it. Yeah right. men coming in and out every 20 minutes.

Frank's depression came as the furor raged over Stephen Gobie's allegations that Frank was aware that he ran a gay prostitution ring out of the congressman's Washington, D.C., apartment. Frank had met Gobie in 1985, and later hired him as a personal assistant and driver. He fired him in 1987. Eventually, in July 1990, the House Ethics Committee, in a 57-report, rejected as untrue Gobie's charges that Frank knew about the prostitution ring or that Frank had committed sexual acts with Gobie in front of President Bush's locker in the House gymnasium. But the panel did conclude that the congressman wrote a misleading memo that went to a Virginia prosecutor and was aimed at ending Gobie's probation on felony charges. It also found that 33 parking tickets issued to Frank's car, many when Gobie was driving, were improperly waived through the congressman's House privileges. On its recommendation, the House issued a public reprimand to Frank. But he was easily reelected that year and has faced no serious opposition since.

The Democrat congressman was accused of running a homosexual school boy prostitution ring from his apartment in DC. The school was only a few blocks away. Barney said he didn’t know anything about it, some “other guy” was responsible, not him, and then Barney blamed his new live-in boyfriend. Few people believed him, and as Barney’s Dem colleagues were about to vote on some form of punishment, Barney angrily took the floor and threatened to “out” any number of his party’s leaders if they went forward with a vote. Evidently Barney’s threats were taken seriously because that was the end of that
