A decade of congressional sex scandals

[cali]

June 8, 2011

Although political scandals date to the country's earliest days, attention to sex-related wrongdoing in Congress began in earnest in the 1970s. Here are some examples from the last 10 years:



2011

Rep. Christopher Lee (R-N.Y.), who is married, resigned hours after news reports that he sent a shirtless photo of himself to a woman through Craigslist.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) resigned after complications from revelations of an extramarital affair with a former aide, who happened to be married to another of his former aides.

2010

Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.) resigned after an extramarital affair with a staffer, with whom he had recorded a video advocating abstinence.
