I had been thinking for some time that what was missing from the the Sen. Ted Stevens - VECO Oil -- Home Renovation scandal was a strong sex and drugs angle. But it seems that gap may be on the way to being filled. Bill Allen, you'll remember is the founder and now-former CEO of VECO, who's pled guilty to all manner of wrongdoing. He's now a full-time government witness. But back when he was still riding high he was the guy who set up and paid for that keen home renovation for Sen. Stevens.

Now it seems, though, that authorities are looking into whether Allen carried on a relationship with 14 year old crack-addict Bambi Tyree. And often seems to happen in these situations various gifts and cash are alleged to have found their way into the hands of young Tyree and her family. Allen, through his lawyer, is denying the allegations.
