Another political sex scandal has surfaced, as U.S. Rep. David Wu (D-Ore., photo), has been exposed for indulging in elicit relations with an unidentified 18-year-old woman, only a few weeks after Rep. Anthony Weiner was caught sending lewd photos to young women on Twitter — and only a week before the U.S. default deadline. According to The Oregonian, the incident occurred last November, and the woman is the daughter of one of Wu’s longtime friends. Wu’s victim was reported to be "distraught" and "breathing heavily" when she called his Portland office this spring, accusing him of an aggressive and "unwanted sexual encounter." Wu acknowledged the incident, but insisted that the encounter was consensual. "This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family," the Congressman said.

Wu claims his behavior was a culmination of mental health problems in 2008, stemming from marital issues and an eventual separation from his wife. But troubling behavior is nothing new for the Congressman, as his actions have reportedly been so bizarre at times that aides have had to cancel meetings and public appearances.
