Sex scandal

A sex scandal is a scandal involving allegations or information about embarrassing sexual activities, such as adultery, being made public. Sex scandals are often associated with movie stars, politicians, or others in the public eye, and become scandals largely because of the prominence of the person involved.

Sex scandals involving politicians can become political scandals, particularly when there is an attempt at a cover-up, or suspicions of illegality.

A list of America's Top 53 Political Sex Scandals [1] lists Bill Clinton as #1, Gary Hart as #2, James E. McGreevey as #3, Wilbur Mills as #4, Bob Packwood as #5, Grover Cleveland as #6, Gary Condit as #7, Mel Reynolds as #8, Neil Goldschmidt as #9, and Brock Adams as #10.
