The name Golan Cipel was temporarily familiar to a lot of Americans in 2004 due to his part in a New Jersey sex scandal.
Cipel is an Israeli who came to the Untied States to work as security advisor to New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, who had met Cipel in Israel in 2000.
McGreevey had assumed that high office in 2002 after having served in other offices of political prominence in his state. Cipel had been an officer in the Israeli Navy and had worked in media relations for his country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but had very limitied credentials for the security post he was given in New Jersey.
Cipel broke with the governor and took a public relations job. Later, Cipel initiated a sexual harassment suit against McGreevey, and in 2004, the governor resigned and admitted that he, during his second marriage, had been in a sexual relationship with Cipel.
McGreevey, once again single, went on to write a memoir, The Confession, flog it on the Oprah Show, teach law and ethics at a New Jersey college, and enter studies at an Episcopal seminary. Cipel works in marketing.
