He had to go through the public exposure of his raunchy clandestine affair at a time when his spouse was struggling with breast cancer. To make matters worse it got revealed that he actually fathered a baby with Rielle Hunter, the other woman. He even persuaded an aide to claim paternity to the love child and that aide went to write a book on the entire episode. As if that was not enough, the former senator is facing possible criminal charges which claim he might have spent the money of the government to keep his affair secret from the public.

He was recently called to answer questions for a lawsuit by his mistress regarding the sex tape he had shot. If the allegations against the former senator are proved it will make the going hard for him. However, he has denied any misappropriation of federal funds to hide his extra marital affair. The mistress appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show the previous month and said that shooting that tape was definitely a violation of her privacy.

The book written by his former aide Andrew Young reveals even more sordid facts that will make anyone recoil in disgust. The former senator allegedly made a promise to the mistress to marry her after the demise of her wife who was battling with cancer. It is not known whether he is still carrying on with his affair.
