“Oswego Mayor John Gosek paid a woman $250 in an attempt to have sex with two 15-year-olds Friday afternoon, according to an FBI affidavit. He thought the girls were waiting for him at a hotel in Salina. Instead, it was police who were waiting. ‘Gosek made numerous inquiries about the women, including their anatomies, ages, dispositions,’ FBI Special Agent Frederick E. Bragg wrote in the affidavit filed Saturday in U.S. District Court in Syracuse. ‘At times, he voices concerns about their age and (wanted to make sure) they would not get in trouble for doing this.’ The FBI and state police say Gosek… used a cell phone, paid for by the city of Oswego, to persuade, induce, entice and coerce minors to engage in sexual activity… Friday, the woman called Gosek and told him she had rented a hotel room for the weekend. She said two ‘very good-looking’ 15-year-olds would be with her. She also said their parents were away for the weekend. About 3:15 p.m., Gosek used the city cell phone to call the woman to say he was leaving Oswego. They agreed to meet at a bar in North Syracuse. The woman, wearing a digital recording device and transmitter, met Gosek about 4 p.m. About 15 or 20 minutes later, Gosek followed the woman from the bar to the hotel. Prosecutors would not name the bar or hotel. On the way, the woman told investigators Gosek talked about having sex with the 15-year-olds and that he had given her a ‘wad of cash,’ which investigators later said was $250, according to court papers. Gosek was arrested as he and the woman were about to enter a door at the hotel.” —The Post-Standard (US)

Here is Mayor Gosek’s official picture; here he is on the local news; and here is a shot of him leaving jail. When you see a 58-year-old guy who must use so much Grecian formula, inevitably you think one of two things: either the guy is a politician or a pedophile. Who else would make such a concerted effort to look so young?

In Mayor Gosek’s case, he is both politician and pedophile — and to throw in a third shady business, he’s also an electrical contractor. Prior to his arrest by the FBI, the greatest scandal to trouble his administration was his allowing a woman to use his official mayoral car for some sort of personal use. In light of the current allegations, you can’t help but wonder if there’s a bit more to that story too.

Anyway, when you read about a guy like this, it’s hard not to ask yourself: Why? Why? A man esteemed by his community, the owner of a successful business, husband of a schoolteacher and father of two grown sons — why risk it all for some momentary pleasure? It’s not like having sex with two 15-year-olds is probably great enough to justify throwing away your whole life. So why do it? It’s a difficult question to answer. Maybe there is no answer at all. Maybe the guy is having a mid-life crisis. Maybe he’s not happy with a life that seems successful on the surface. Maybe he’s stupid. Who knows? But when you consider that the previous President was willing to throw away the most powerful position in the world for a blowjob, you can see that there are crazier things than a mayor willing to throw it all away for two nubile teens.
