Willie Mays. SF Chronicle (archived). ESPN.
The Awful Announcing blog has a link to a video tribute to Mr. Mays narrated by Jon Miller.
Neil Goldschmidt, former mayor of Portland and governor of Oregon. He seemed to have a promising political career (he was also transportation secretary under Jimmy Carter) but left office in 1990. There were a lot of rumors about his extramarital activities at the time.
In 2004, it came out that he’d been raping a teenage girl.
The statute of limitations on any criminal charges that might have been brought against Mr. Goldschmidt, including statutory rape, had expired decades earlier. The woman he abused later gave a series of interviews to Margie Boulé, a columnist for The Oregonian, describing her relationship with the mayor.
The woman said the abuse first began when she was 13, on her mother’s birthday. It virtually destroyed her, she said. She attempted suicide at age 15 and later become addicted to alcohol and cocaine. She died in 2011.
George R. Nethercutt Jr., former House member. He’s most famous for having defeated Thomas S. Foley, who was Speaker of the House at the time.
Paul Pressler. He was sort of a “power behind the throne” in the Southern Baptist Convention:
He was also involved in a messy sex scandal, which led to the Southern Baptist Convention distancing themselves from him.
Angela Bofill, R&B singer of the 1970s and 1980s.
