Vito Fossella has admitted to fathering an illegitimate child with Laura Fay. The Staten Island congressman's indiscretions were unraveled after he was pulled over for drunk driving on May 1 in Virginia. He stated to police that he was rushing to see a sick daughter, who just happened to live at the residence of ex-Air Force lieutenant Laura Fay.
After he called Laura Fay for bail money, it didn't take a genius to figure out that there was a connection. Although at first calling her an "old friend", Fossella finally confessed this morning after increasing pressure from the press, releasing a short statement:
I have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a three-year-old daughter. My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry.
The 43-year-old politician is married with three kids to Mary Pat Fossella and is facing a mandatory five-day jail sentence if convicted for driving while intoxicated. Vito Fossella apparently met the now 45-year-old Laura Fay five years ago when she worked as an Air Force liaison to Congress. Fay even went on a European tour with Fossella in 2003.
