He was 30 then, and married, she was 15 and his employee. He was also her Sunday school teacher before that.
And the cover up (150,000 hush money) was only 8 years ago.
If it wasn’t a big deal he should have pressed extortion charges against her.

This is interesting. I remember when I was 46 and married and was music director and Sunday School teacher for the high school aged kids at my church. One day a family came to the church that had three daughters. The middle daughter (around 14 or 15) was very cute and gregarious and at first I thought she was being nice to me. However, she started giving me the creeps because she seemed just, well, TOO friendly and attentive to me. She acted LITERALLY the way a woman that was coming onto me in not so subtle ways would act. I shook it off and assumed she was just learning how to act socially. It still made me very nervous to be around her and, of course, I always applied my “never find yourself alone with a single woman” rule. Nothing even remotely improper happened and I even discussed it with my wife in our normal day-to-day discussion about what’s going on in our lives.
It turned out I was not the only older guy she was treating this way. I left the church for completely unrelated reasons so I don’t know what ever happened with her or if anything improper ever happened between her and any other men.
After that experience, I will say this though: If a 30 year old guy ended up with her nude in a hot tub, he is not the one I would blame. And if he eventually became a high profile politician, he would be an excellent mark for a hundred grand or so.
