We had a milder but similar case in Burbank CA 10-15 years ago
Someone circulated a picture of a city council member (who was cute, as well as competent) wearing only her underwear at a party (defense was it turned into a swim party, unexpectedly). Her political career was doomed.
People don't cease to be people when they attain public office. It is a shame that so many are out there to take advantage of it. Don't know if this Canadian lady is left or right, but I hope the scum who sold and distributed the pix is found and held responsible.
