If you were married, this would likely be blackmail material.

Occasionally, though, it does work like you say. I think there was some Asian(?) politician that they tried to blackmail after something like this, and he basically said: "Hey, could you send me a copy of the sex tape? She was smokin' hot, and I'd love to have the video."

Didn't an agency also target Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this way as well, or am I thinking of someone else?

This is despicable behavior, what a painful history.

Thanks. That was the one.
