Sen. Daniel Inouye. The 82-year-old Hawaii Democrat was accused in the
1990s by numerous women of sexual harassment. Democrats cast doubt on
the allegations and the Senate Ethics Committee dropped its
investigation.

Former Rep. Gus Savage. The Illinois Democrat was accused of fondling
a
Peace Corps volunteer in 1989 while on a trip to Africa. The House
Ethics Committee decided against disciplinary action in 1990.

Rep. Barney Frank. The outspoken Massachusetts Democrat hired a male
prostitute who ran a prostitution service from Frank's residence in
the 1980s. Only two Democrats in the House of Representatives voted to
censure him in 1990.

Former Sen. Brock Adams. The late Washington Democrat was forced to
stop campaigning after numerous accusations of drugging, assault and
rape, the first surfacing in 1988.

Former Rep. Fred Richmond. This New York Democrat was arrested in 1978
for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old. He remained in Congress and won
re-election-before eventually resigning in 1982 after pleading guilty
to tax evasion and drug possession.

Former Rep. John Young. The late Texas Democrat increased the salary
of
a staffer after she gave in to his sexual advances. The congressman
won
re-election in 1976 but lost two years later.

Former Rep. Wayne Hays. The late Ohio Democrat hired an unqualified

over the jury in 1991.

Mark Oaten, the former Liberal Democrat leadership challenger,
dramatically quit frontline politics last night over revelations of an
affair with a rent boy.

Rep. Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.)
On Oct. 9, 1974, Mills, the chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee and perhaps the most powerful member of the House, was
stopped for speeding near the Jefferson Memorial at 2 a.m. Shortly
after, Annabella Battistella - a stripper who went by the stage-name
of Fanne Foxe,  the "Argentine Firecracker" - jumped out of his car
and into the Potomac River tidal basin. The incident did not
immediately threaten Mills, whose district was solidly Democratic. But
Mills won reelection with only 59 percent of the vote, his lowest
total
ever. Within weeks, Mills appeared on a Boston stage carousing with
Foxe, apparently intoxicated. Faced with an uprising among House
Democrats, Mills was forced to resign as Ways and Means chairman, and
in 1976 he announced he would not seek another term, ending his
38-year
House career. He was succeeded by Jim Guy Tucker, whose own ethics got
the attention of Kenneth Starr some two decades later.

another
male at the age of 19 while in college. Shortly after he began surfing the Web
