List of politicians caught with prostitutes. Politicians andsex workers are said to have a lot of common. They both have underhanded andseedy dealings on a daily basis to get their jobs done. So then it’s nosurprise that so many major politicians are caught with their pants down, so tospeak, in the company of prostitutes. The idea that politicians are often atcoke-filled parties with their arms around a hooker or two is so prevalent, butsurprisingly few politicians have ever been caught with prostitutes. Even fewerhave been arrested. The number of politicians who have actually served time forsoliciting sex is extremely low.
Some of the politicians, solely men, who have been caughtwith prostitutes are lonely men looking for the company of women or men. Othertimes the scandal is wrapped around an abuse of power and sick sex crimes. Afew of the cases of politicians caught with sex workers have included anti-gay,married men in the company of male prostitutes. Undercover police officers arealso often in the equation.

Allan Howe
In 1976, Utah representative Allan Howe was arrested for solicitation of a prostitute. Unfortunately for him, the two women he approached to pay for sex were actually undercover police officer. Howe decided not to resign from office. However, he was no re-elected for another term.
David I. Walsh
In one of the oldest prostitution scandals in the United States, David I. Walsh was implicated in the 1942 sex scandal after a male brothel was uncovered as a possible front for Nazi spies. While there were many witnesses to his involvement in the brothel, it was never quite clear whether it was a political conspiracy to sully Walsh's reputation and political career. J. Edgar Hoover even released a report claiming there was no proof of the rumor.
Eliot Spitzer
The governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, made headline news when he was implicated in 2008 as a client for a prostitution ring. His meetings with $1k an hour call girls made him a national joke, which lead to his resignation. Despite rumors that he used campaign money to fund his raunchy nights out, prosecutors declined to press charges.
Fred Richmond
In 1978, the New York Representative Fred Richmond was arrested for soliciting sex for a male prostitute - and an underage one at that. While he didn't serve any jail time, he was ordered to psychiatric counseling. The scandal didn't stop his district from re-electing him twice until a drug scandal in 1982 caused him to resign.
Joe Waggonner
The Louisiana Democratic representative, Joe Waggonner, in 1976 was arrested in a prostitution sting while in Washington D.C. The arrest didn't stop his constituents from re-electing him that same year. However, just two years later he retired from politics.
Mike Allen
Alberta politician, Mike Allen, made United States news when he was arrested for solicitation of a prostitute while on a business trip in St. Paul. Allen allegedly called an online ad for the chance to spend $200 on two women. Instead he met up with an undercover police officer and was arrested. Allen decided not to resign his political post.
Philip Giordano
The Republican mayor of Waterbury Connecticut proved himself to be quite the disgusting individual when he was arrested for sexually abusing children. He hired a prostitute to bring over her young daughter and niece. He is currently serving time in federal prison.
Robert Bauman
Maryland Republican representative, Robert Bauman was arrested in 1980 for solicitation of an underage male prostitute. Although he blamed the scandal on his sex and alcohol addictions, Bauman did not get re-elected.
Silvio Berlusconi
Italian politician Silvio Berlusconi may have set records for corruption in politics. Not only was he implicated in numerous bribing and abuse of office scandals, he was also charged with solicitation of minors. Although he attempted to cover up the scandal through lies and bribery, Berlusconi was eventually found guilty and sentenced to seven years in jail. He was also banned from public office for life.
Jerry Springer
Before he was an infamous talk show host known mostly for his scandalous guests, Jerry Springer was a city councilman from Cincinnati. During that time, he had scandal of his own including a prostitute in a health club in 1974. When this information was revealed, he resigned from office immediately. That didn't stop him from running unsuccessfully for governor in 1982.
