  Jack Ryan (Senate candidate) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Ryan ran for the United States Senate from Illinois and was forced to withdraw due to reports of past sexual behavior.
Jack Ryan (born circa 1960) is a moderate Republican from the state of Illinois who was forced to withdraw his Senate candidacy due to a sex scandal involving his ex-wife, notable actress Jeri Ryan.
Jeri Ryan described one as "a bizarre club with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling." In opposing court papers, Ryan denied the allegations, calling them "ridiculous" and accusing her of trying to libel him with the accusations, which he labeled "smut," and trying to sabotage a potential political career.

 Jeri Ryan's Sex-Club Scandal - Jun 22, 2004 - E! Online News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ryan made her allegations during the couple's custody dispute in 2000 and 2001, claiming that her husband took her to "explicit sex clubs" in New York, New Orleans and Paris under the pretense of "romantic getaways."
Ryan blamed the incident for causing her to lose her attraction to her husband, which ultimately led to their divorce in 1999.
In his original court response in June 2000, Jack Ryan called his ex-wife's claims "ridiculous accusations" and stated that she was not taking into consideration how their son would be affected by "this type of smut." He admitted they had visited one "avant garde nightclub" in Paris, where neither of them felt comfortable.
