Mel Reynolds, House of Representatives (D-Il) convicted on 12 counts
of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child
pornography resulting from a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old
campaign volunteer.

Gary Studds Studds was a central figure in the 1983 Congressional page
sex scandal, when he and Representative Dan Crane were censured by the
House of Representatives for separate sexual relationships with minors
- in Studds' case, a 1973 sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male
congressional page.

REP. JOHN YOUNG (D-Tex.):
On June 11, 1976, Colleen Gardner, a former staff secretary to Young,
told the New York Times that Young increased her salary after she gave
in to his sexual advances. In November, Young, who had run unopposed
in the safe Democratic district five consecutive times, w More..as
reelected with just 61 percent of the vote. The scandal wouldn't go
away, and in 1978 Young was defeated in a Democratic primary runoff.
REP. ALLAN HOWE (D-Utah):
On June 13, 1976, Howe was arrested in Salt Lake City on charges of
soliciting two policewomen posing as prostitutes. Howe insisted he was
set up and refused to resign. But the Democratic Party distanced
itself from his candidacy and he was trounced by his Republican
opponent in the November election.
REP. FRED RICHMOND (D-N.Y.):
In April 1978, Richmond was arrested in Washington for soliciting sex
from a 16-year-old boy. Richmond apologized for his actions, conceding
he "made bad judgments involving my private life." In spite of a
Democratic primary opponent's attempts to cash in on the headlines,
Richmond easily won renomination and reelection. But his career came
to an end four years later when, after pleading guilty to possession
of marijuana and tax evasion - and amid allegations that he had his
staff procure cocaine for him -- he resigned his seat.
REP. JOHN HINSON (D-Miss.):
On Aug. 8, 1980, during his first reelection bid, Hinson stunned
everyone by announcing that in 1976 he had been accused of committing
an obscene act at a gay haunt in Virginia. Hinson, married and a
strong conservative, added that in 1977 he had survived a fire in a
gay D.C. movie theater. He was making the disclosure, he said, because
he needed to clear his conscience. But he denied he was a homosexual
and refused GOP demands that he resign. Hinson won reelection in a
three-way race, with 39 percent of the vote. But three months later,
he was arrested on charges of attempted oral sodomy in the restroom of
a House office building. He resigned his seat on April 13, 1981.
REP. DAN CRANE (R-Ill.) and REP. GERRY STUDDS (D-Mass.):
The House ethics committee on July 14, 1983, announced that Crane and
Studds had sexual relationships with teenage congressional pages --
Crane with a 17-year-old female in 1980, Studds with a 17-year-old
male in 1973. Both admitted the charges that same day, and Studds
acknowledged he was gay. The committee voted to reprimand the two, but
a back-bench Georgia Republican named Newt Gingrich argued that they
should be expelled. The full House voted on July 20 instead to censure
the two, the first time that ever happened for sexual misconduct.
Crane, married and the father of six, was tearful in his apology to
the House, while Studds refused to apologize. Crane's conservative
district voted him out in 1984, while the voters in Studds's more
liberal district were more forgiving. Studds won reelection in 1984
with 56 percent of the vote, and continued to win until he retired in
1996.
REP. ERNIE KONNYU (D-Calif.):
In August 1987, two former Konnyu aides complained to the San Jose
Mercury News that the freshman Republican had sexually harassed them.
GOP leaders were unhappy with Konnyu's temperament to begin with, so
it took little effort to find candidates who would take him on in the
primary. Stanford professor Tom Campbell ousted Konnyu the following
June.
SEN. BROCK ADAMS (D-Wash.):
On Sept. 27, 1988, Seattle newspapers reported that Kari Tupper, the
daughter of Adams's longtime friends, filed a complaint against the
Washington Democrat in July of 1987, charging sexual assault. She
claimed she went to Adams's house in March 1987 to get him to end a
pattern of harassment, but that he drugged her and assaulted her.
Adams denied any sexual assault, saying they only talked about her
employment opportunities. Adams continued raising campaign funds and
declared for a second term in February of 1992. But two weeks later
the Seattle Times reported that eight other women were accusing Adams
of sexual molestation over the past 20 years, describing a history of
drugging and subsequent rape. Later that day, while still proclaiming
his innocence, Adams ended his campaign.
REP. JIM BATES (D-Calif.):
Roll Call quoted former Bates aides in October 1988 saying that the
San Diego Democrat made sexual advances toward female staffers. Bates
called it a GOP-inspired smear campaign, but also apologized for
anything he did that might have seemed inappropriate. The story came
too close to Election Day to damage Bates, who won easily. However,
the following October the ethics committee sent Bates a "letter of
reproval" directing him to make a formal apology to the women who
filed the complaint. Although the district was not thought to be
hospitable to the GOP, Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a former Navy pilot
who was once shot down over North Vietnam, ousted Bates in 1990 by
fewer than 2,000 votes.
REP. GUS SAVAGE (D-Ill.):
The Washington Post reported on July 19, 1989, that Savage had fondled
a Peace Corps volunteer while on an official visit to Zaire. Savage
called the story a lie and blamed it on his political enemies and a
racist media. (Savage is black.) In January 1990, the House ethics
committee decided that the events did occur, but decided against any
disciplinary action because Savage wrote a letter to the woman saying
he "never intended to offend" her. Savage was reelected in 1990, but
finally ousted in the 1992 primary by Mel Reynolds.
REP. BARNEY FRANK (D-Mass.):
In response to a story in the Aug. 25, 1989, Washington Times, Frank
confirmed that he hired Steve Gobie, a male prostitute, in 1985 to
live with and work for him in his D.C. apartment. But Frank, who is
gay, said he fired Gobie in 1987 when he learned he was using the
apartment to run a prostitution service. The Boston Globe, among
others, called on Frank to resign, but he refused. On July 19, 1990,
the ethics committee recommended Frank be reprimanded because he
"reflected discredit upon the House" by using his congressional office
to fix 33 of Gobie's parking tickets. Attempts to expel or censure
Frank failed; instead the House voted 408-18 to reprimand him. The
fury in Washington was not shared in Frank's district, where he won
reelection in 1990 with 66 percent of the vote, and has won by larger
margins ever since.
SEN. DANIEL INOUYE (D-Hawaii):
In October 1992, Republican Senate nominee Rick Reed began running a
campaign commercial that included a surreptitiously taped interview
with Lenore Kwock, Inouye's hairdresser. Kwock said Inouye had
sexually forced himself on her in 1975 and continued a pattern of
sexual harassment, even as Kwock continued to cut his hair over the
years. Inouye, seeking a sixth term, denied the charges. And Kwock
said that by running the commercial, Reed had caused her more pain
than Inouye had. Reed was forced to pull the ad, and while many voters
took out their anger on the Republican, Inouye was held to 57 percent
of the vote - the lowest total of his career. A week later, a female
Democratic state legislator announced that she had heard from nine
other women who claimed Inouye had sexually harassed them over the
past decade. But the women didn't go public with their claims, the
local press didn't pursue the story, and the Senate Ethics Committee
decided to drop the investigation because the accusers wouldn't
participate in an inquiry.
REP MEL REYNOLDS (D-Ill.):
Freshman Reynolds was indicted on Aug. 19, 1994, on charges of having
sex with a 16-year-old campaign worker and then pressuring her to lie
about it. Reynolds, who is black, denied the charges and said the
investigation was racially motivated. The GOP belatedly put up a write-
in candidate for November, but Reynolds dispatched him in the
overwhelmingly Democratic district with little effort. Reynolds was
convicted on Aug. 22, 1995 of 12 counts of sexual assault, obstruction
of justice and solicitation of child pornography, was sentenced to
five years in prison, and resigned his seat on October 1. Less..

24 year old degenerate. The rape was viewed as positive and a growing
experience. As the character said: "It was a good rape."
Roman Polanski
John Wayne Gacy (yup, he was a democrat)
John Wayne Gacy was convicted of 33 murders of mostly teenage
boys. He was sentenced to death for 12 of those murders (12 proved to
have been committed after Illinois had passed post-Furman death
penalty), and to natural life in prison for the others. The bodies of
most of the victims were unearthed in the crawl space under Gacy's
middle class home in the Chicago suburbs. Evidence showed that the
defendant led a double life, engaging in charitable and political
activities at the same time he was committing a series of sadistic
torture murders. He enticed many young men to his home for homosexual
liaisons, tying or handcuffing his partners then strangling or choking
them. Gacy was a successful contractor, was active in the community,
and often dressed up as a clown for parties.
Gacy spent part of his leisure time hosting elaborate street
parties for friends and neighbors, dressing as a clown, and
entertaining children at local hospitals. He also immersed himself in
organizations such as the Jaycees and the local Democratic party. As a
Democratic precinct captain he once had his picture taken with First
Lady Rosalyn Carter.
Hey, howzabout Jim Jones, of Jonestown fame? He was an atheist and a
San Franscio Democrat. Also poisoned an entire town.
. There was Bill Clinton's last minute pardon of former Rep. Mel
Reynolds, D-IL, who had been imprisoned for having sex with a 16-year-
old staffer. (He was later hired by Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH
Coalition; both Clinton and Jackson had also had sex with
subordinates.)
There is the case of Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA, whose office housed a
prostitution ring.
Seven high ranking Democrat senators and representatives worked to
assist one Leon Rouse - a convicted child molester serving time on
underage sex charges in the Philippines. Rouse, now released after 8
years in prison, was hired last session as an employee of a Democrat-
controlled Hawaii state Legislative Committee. 2008 Democratic
presidential hopeful Russ Feingold also came to his defense, along
with a Clinton-era U.S. embassy and more than half-a-dozen Democrats.
Arrested in the Philippines on October 4, 1995, and later convicted
for paying 200 pesos to have sex with a 15-year-old boy, Leon Rouse
served eight years of a 10-to-15-year sentence in New Bilibid Prison
in Muntinlupa City. After complaining of kidney stones, he was
released by the Philippine authorities on September 29, 2003, and
immediately deported to the U.S. As a condition of his release, he was
banished from the Philippines for life
