Al Franken (Democrat): In 2017, multiple women accused then-Senator Al Franken of Minnesota of sexual misconduct, including groping and unwanted kissing.

John Conyers (Democrat): In 2017, several women accused Representative John Conyers of Michigan of sexual misconduct, including one former staffer who alleged he made unwanted sexual advances that she interpreted as coercive.

Eric Schneiderman (Democrat): In 2018, four women accused New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of physical abuse and sexual misconduct, with some allegations describing non-consensual acts that bordered on assault. While not formally charged with rape, the accusations led to his resignation. Schneiderman denied the allegations, and no criminal prosecutions followed.
Harvey Milk (Democrat): Historical accounts and recent discussions, including posts on X, have referenced allegations that Harvey Milk, the iconic San Francisco supervisor assassinated in 1978, engaged in predatory behavior toward young men, including claims of non-consensual acts. These accusations, often debated in revisionist histories, lack formal legal documentation due to the era and Milk’s death. No charges were ever filed, and evidence remains anecdotal.
