You hear about these cases occasionally but they do happen frequently. The women, or sometimes men, are usually paid "hush-money" and get promoted to very prestigious, high paying jobs.
An ex coworker of mine who worked for a congressman or senator (can't remember) explained how the politicians on both sides of the aisle abuse their power and trust at the cost of the US taxpayer/voter.
Hush money...it's very easy to get. It's easy for representatives to get their hands on up to $30k, maybe even more nowadays in petty cash. They just sign a voucher for it and they don't even have to get receipts. Pretty sweet huh?
