One of those powerful politicians who seem to think "harass" is two words, Bob Packwood of Oregon resigned from the U.S. Senate in 1995 after being recommended by the Senate Ethics Committee for expulsion.
His weakness was women, which came to public light in 1992 in a devastating story in the Washington Post. That story told of complaints made by 10 staffers and lobbyists who said they had been groped or otherwise abused by the senator, who for two years in the 1980s had been chair of the Senate's Finance Committee.
Following his resignation, Packwood started his own D.C. lobbying company.
