Sex scandal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sex scandal is a scandal involving allegations or information about sexual activities 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 and/or non-normative nature of the sexuality. A scandal may be based on reality, the product of false allegations, or a mixture of both.
Sex scandals involving politicians can become political scandals, particularly when there is an attempt at a cover-up, or suspicions of illegality.
