  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 allegations of past sexual mis-behavior.
Jack Ryan (born circa 1960) is Republican from the state of Illinois who was forced to withdraw his Senate candidacy due to an alleged sex scandal involving his ex-wife, 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.

Ryan, who made the announcement in a terse statement that blamed the media for unfair coverage, had insisted as late as Thursday that he had no intention of abandoning his bid to replace Senator Peter Fitzgerald, a conservative Republican who chose not to seek a second term.
Ryan's withdrawal puts the GOP in a tight spot, having to field a candidate late in the game to take on widely popular Barack Obama, a Democratic state senator and constitutional lawyer who is bidding to become only the third fl US Senator since Reconstruction.
Ryan's pullout is the latest blow for the state GOP, which was trounced in the 2002 elections that gave Democrats control of the governor's mansion and both houses of the Illinois General Assembly for the first time in 30 years.
