Kolbe was a member of the Page Board when the earlier emails were brought to his attention

We just found this on our own - it was Joe's idea - but CNN apparently has also confirmed it.
Kolbe was a member of the House Page Board when the e-mails were brought to his attention.
So we're to believe that Kolbe was a member of the Page Board, but when a former Page came to him - a Page who Kolbe sponsored (was he a constituent, a family friend?) and said that he was being harassed by another member of Congress, Kolbe told the kid, basically, you're on your own? Deal with it yourself? Go confront your abuser when you're only 16 and he's nearly 50 and a member of Congress?
If that's Kolbe's story, it's an incredible dereliction of duty. And frankly, I don't believe it.
