Actress says Illinois pol sought liaisons in kinky clubs
JUNE 22--In what may prove a crippling blow to his U.S. Senate campaign, divorce records reveal that Illinois Republican Jack Ryan was accused by his former wife, actress Jeri Ryan, of pressuring her to have sex at swinger's clubs in New York, Paris, and New Orleans while other patrons watched. The bombshell allegation is contained amidst nearly 400 pages of records ordered released yesterday by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge who ruled on media requests to unseal documents from the Ryan case.
The salacious charge leveled at the politician was made by Jeri Ryan, who has starred in TV's "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Boston Public," in a court filing in connection with child custody proceedings (you'll find a portion of that heavily redacted September 2000 document below).
The performer alleged that she refused Ryan's requests for public sex during the excursions, which included a trip to a New York club "with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling." While Ryan, a former Goldman Sachs executive, confirmed the trips with the actress, he described them simply as "romantic getaways," denying her claims that he sought public sex. The politician has repeatedly claimed that his divorce file--portions of which were sealed in 2000 and 2001--contained no embarrassing information that would harm his chances against Democratic nominee Barack Obama. The Ryans were married in 1991 and, in November 1998, Jeri Ryan filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences." Another unsealed document reveals that Jeri Ryan, as part of the divorce settlement, received about $20 million in Goldman Sachs stock, while Jack Ryan retained a $40 million stake in the investment giant.

Does Tom Clancy know about this?
guilt by accusation. sounds like a democrat tactic to me.
But, if Jack Ryan were a Democrat, then it would be different. Then he could say, it's just sex.
lol
lol
Don"t give me anything about them not being related, they are.
BTW I understand he is part of the NE Rockefeller wing of the pubbie party.
Your basic rino.
All this means is a man who turned against his father faith and has a fatwa pronounced against him as the junior senator from the PRI.
Good one!
But THIS Jack Ryan is toast.
Whips hanging from the ceiling?
I didn't know that's what whips were for.
At least he was having sex with his OWN wife, even if this crap is true!
Why should this affect his ability to be a Senator, when former KKK membership as Grand Kleagle or drowning a girl aren't disqualifiers? Or, being a self-admitted war criminal, for that matter?

Greag = Great. Gaaaargh.
Some "romantic getaway" . . .
She downed his career.
Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard spot. she can't admit she embellished the doc. Yet yesterday she praised him to high heaven. Divoces are nasty business. 20 mill? wow.
Cook County and the Chicago burbs generate more crooked politicians in both the Democrat and Republican parties.
It is a hot bed of graft and corruption for skimming the tollways to crooked contracts to put up wrought iron fence.
Our Senator Fitzgerald, an honest Republican, choose not to run again but he did manage to get an honest U.S. Attorney for Illinois who has been hot after the crooks.
The problem is, if a Democrat Senator is elected the honest guy will get axed immediately. Illinois has no future for honest politicians getting elected in either party.
The judge that released the records is Robert A. Schnider. Remember that when we vote for judges.
Bingo..you got it...
got any evidence? quotes etc? I'd love to see it.
