Grover Cleveland was accused of raping a maid during the 1884 presidential election. His campaign called her a liar, and he won anyway. Has evidence emerged since about who was correct? Cleveland also later married his adopted daughter when he was 48 and she was 21. Did that cause a scandal itself? NSFW
