No doubt there's a long list, Eric -- was the John Quincy Adams thing the first (sex scandal) ? But perhaps you could confine your list to directly comparable instances i.e. involving minors perhaps (not clear) and breaking a law you yourself put forward or strongly supported. (Sexual harassment/abuse of power too, perhaps; so, Hays -- and others here who fall into that category.)
