1) The kid can press assault charges.
2) The congress can file an ethics violation (I guess?).

Now, if the kid files charges and there's evidence the "state" gets them dismissed, then I agree with Dunedan. If congress "can" file an ethics investigation and doesn't, well then I guess I agree with Dunedan again.

I think we all expect these things to happen at the same speed the information gets dispensed. I'll have the patience to see how it plays out.
