William Kennedy Smith
Smith, nephew of Sen. Edward Kennedy, was acquitted of rape in 1991 in a trial that opened the era of blanket TV coverage of celebrity trials. It also led to intense scrutiny of the senator, who was with Smith when he picked up the woman he was accused of assaulting. Today, Smith teaches at Northwestern University Medical School and leads Physicians Against Land Mines. Last year, he settled a lawsuit by a woman who accused him of having sexually harassed her and won a separate civil case brought by another woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her.
Patricia Bowman
The woman Smith was acquitted of assaulting in 1991 retreated to private life to raise her daughter, now 19. She re-emerged in 2004 to lead rallies for victims' rights during the Kobe Bryant rape investigation in Colorado.";

Wayne Hays
Hays, the Ohio Democrat feared as both the powerful chairman of the House Administration Committee and as \"the meanest man in Congress,\" resigned in 1976 after The Washington Post revealed that he had kept a young, blonde secretary on his staff whose sole duty was to be his mistress. He then served one term in the Ohio House but was defeated for re-election in 1980 by Republican Bob Ney. Ney is now the chairman of Hays' old committee and has been identified as Representative No. 1 in court documents filed as part of the prosecution of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Hays died in 1989.
Elizabeth Ray
Miss Virginia of 1975 told The Post that although she spent two years on Hays' staff as a secretary, \"I can't type. I can't file. I can't even answer the phone.\" Since then, she has written a book about the scandal, posed numerous times for Playboy and pursued an acting career.";

Oliver North
The Marine lieutenant colonel in charge of selling weapons to Iran and diverting the profits to the Nicaraguan contra rebels became a conservative hero for his uncompromising testimony defending the illegal plan before Congress. He launched a lucrative post-military career as a conservative commentator and author. Today he hosts a widely syndicated radio talk show and appears regularly on Fox News Channel.
Fawn Hall
North's secretary admitted smuggling secret documents out of the office, triggering the Iran-contra investigation; later, testifying under immunity, she acknowledged shredding documents. After her time in the spotlight passed, she faded back into private obscurity, going through drug rehab with her husband, Doors manager Danny Sugerman, who died last year.
John Poindexter
A naval admiral who was President Reagan's national security adviser, Poindexter was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction, perjury and destruction of evidence for his role in Iran-contra, convictions that were reversed because he had been granted limited immunity. In 2002, he returned to the government as head of a Pentagon terrorist intelligence program, only to resign a year later when it was revealed that he had spearheaded a program to chart terrorist threats through a system of public betting on the likelihood of disasters and terrorist acts.";

Marion Barry
Known as Washington's \"mayor for life,\" Barry resigned in 1990 when he was arrested on felony drug charges after a videotaped sting. After serving six months, he was elected to the D.C. Council in 1992 and regained the mayor's office in 1994. Today, he serves on the D.C. Council, but he is fighting cancer and pleaded guilty last year to failing to pay income taxes.

Rasheeda Moore
It was Moore, a former model who turned government informer, who lured Barry to the hotel room FBI agents had set up to tape him smoking crack cocaine, leading to his famous complaint that \"the bitch set me up.\" After testifying at Barry's trial, she moved to California with her three children and was last heard from in 1996, when she returned to Washington for her mother's funeral.";

Gary Hart
Hart, the front-runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination, had been dogged by rumors of infidelity for years. He challenged reporters to follow him around, a challenge The Miami Herald accepted. It reported in May 1987 that he had spent the night with a woman who was not his wife. After The National Enquirer published a photo of Hart on a yacht — the Monkey Business — with a model on his lap, he dropped out. Today, he is a professor at the University of Colorado and the author of political thrillers under the pseudonym John Blackthorn. He was co-chairman of the Hart-Rudman Commission, which identified weaknesses in U.S. security that went unaddressed until the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Donna Rice
Rice, a model and aspiring actress, was the 29-year-old woman in Hart's lap in the notorious Monkey Business photo. She initially cashed in on her fame by endorsing a line of blue jeans called No Excuses, but she soon became a born-again Christian and an anti-pornography activist. Known as Donna Rice Hughes since her marriage in 1994, she is president of Eight Is Enough, an activist group that focuses on helping victims and shielding children from porn on the Internet.

Jack Ryan
Ryan, a dashing investment banker, withdrew as the Republican Senate nominee in Illinois in 2004 after a judge unsealed documents from his child custody battle with his ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan. In the documents, Jeri Ryan accused him of taking her to sex clubs and pressuring her to have sex with him in front of strangers. Ryan denied the allegations, and the judge in the custody case sided with him, but the emergence of the allegations four years later ended his campaign. A longtime social activist, he returned to teaching at an inner-city high school in Chicago and started his own weekly newspaper, and he said last year that he might run for office again some day.
Jeri Ryan
Jeri Ryan, who rose to fame as the Borg Seven of Nine on \"Star Trek: Voyager,\" joined her ex-husband in opposing release of their custody papers. After the scandal broke, she released a statement calling him a good man and a good father and saying she thought he'd make an excellent senator. After her role as a lawyer-turned-teacher on \"Boston Public\" ended with its cancellation in 2004, she became a regular guest star on \"The OC\" last year and has opened a restaurant, Ortolan, in Los Angeles, which MSN.com named one of the nation's best new eateries last year.
