Now, this is just fucked up.

Several Chicago media organizations had sued for release of documents relating to the Ryans' divorce, saying the public interest outweighed their concerns about privacy and the possible effect on their now 9-year-old son. Friday, a judge in Los Angeles, where their divorce was litigated, agreed to unseal portions of more than 360 pages of documents, although large parts remained blacked out.

Both Ryans had objected to the release of details in the documents, but they opted not to appeal the ruling.

Here's the AP version of the article.

Racy Allegations Vs. Illinois Senate Hopeful
By MAURA KELLY LANNAN, AP

CHICAGO (June 22) - Republican Jack Ryan vowed to stay in the race for U.S. Senate despite embarrassing allegations that he tried to pressure his former wife to perform sex acts in clubs while others watched.

''My intention is to stay in the race,'' Ryan said Monday, hours after a California judge unsealed divorce records from his marriage to Jeri Lynn Ryan, the actress best known for roles on TV's ''Boston Public'' and ''Star Trek: Voyager.''

Jeri Lynn Ryan charged during a custody hearing that Ryan took her on surprise trips to New Orleans, New York and Paris in 1998, the year before they divorced, and that he insisted she go to sex clubs with him each time.

In New York, Ryan's former wife described a club ''with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling.'' She said she refused when Ryan asked her to perform a sexual act while others watched.

Ryan denied the accusations and said he felt bad for their son, now 9, that she would falsely accuse him.

''I did arrange romantic getaways for us, but that did not include the type of activity she described,'' Ryan said in court papers. ''We did go to one avant-garde nightclub in Paris which was more than either one of us felt comfortable with. We left and vowed never to return.''

Ryan, a millionaire investment banker-turned-teacher, won the GOP Senate primary in March despite having little political experience,

He and his ex-wife vigorously fought the public disclosure of the files since their existence became known during the primary campaign. They had argued that making them public would harm their son.

In a news conference Monday, Ryan refused to comment further on the allegations, saying his response in the court papers spoke for itself. ''I am sticking by the exact things I said five years ago,'' he said.

Ryan has tried to shore up support from Republican leaders in recent days. But one GOP member of the Illinois congressional delegation, Rep. Ray LaHood, called Monday for Ryan to withdraw as a candidate.

''There's no way the people of Illinois are going to countenance this behavior from a Senate candidate from the Republican Party,'' said LaHood, of Peoria.

Republican Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, who is retiring and whom Ryan is hoping to replace, remained supportive of Ryan.

''Divorce cases and child custody cases are by nature acrimonious and allegations on all sides are often unreliable or sensationalized. The Jack Ryan that I know very well is a good and decent man,'' Fitzgerald said.

Ryan had repeatedly assured GOP leaders the files contained nothing embarrassing enough to torpedo his bid for the Senate against Democrat Barack Obama.

Obama did not return calls for comment Monday night. But he told the Chicago Tribune that it would not be ''appropriate'' for him to comment on the revelations. ''Obviously, Mr. Ryan and his supporters will be discussing this and I don't think that's my role,'' he said.

Democratic leaders have targeted Illinois, which is widely seen as leaning Democratic, as a key battleground in their effort to regain control of the Senate. Thirty-four seats are up for grabs in November.

In a statement released Monday evening, Jeri Lynn Ryan made no mention of the allegations, but said she now considered Ryan a good man and loving father.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schnider had ruled Thursday that the documents should be released because of Ryan's high-profile candidacy.

Divorce papers also dogged another millionaire Senate hopeful in Illinois this year. Blair Hull was an early front-runner for the Democratic nomination, but papers were unsealed from his 1998 divorce alleging that he struck his ex-wife and threatened her. Obama went on to win the nomination.

Yep, only Republicans could get in trouble for trying to do something kinky with their spouse.

Don't they know that sex is a very private thing done in the privacy of the home with all the lights shut off, under covers, eyes closed, preying to God for forgiveness and it's only done for procreation.

Sounds like Jack Ryan was trying to have a grand old party with his wife, so what's the problem?

Apparently, him watching his wife being done by someone else is "smutty" or even "not true to his marriage".

It would be really funny if this guy supported one of those "Defense of Marriage" acts.

Don't you know, marriage is a personal matter of the people involved, unless they're gay.

Isn't he denying that it ever happened? I thought his official version was "We walked in there and were disgusted, so we got out as quickly as we could. I am not into kinky stuff. We have sex only to procreate.".

It never says anything like that. Just that he took her to these clubs and asked her to have sex with him in view of the other couples and she said no. And then they didn't. And then they left.

Can someone explain the fucking story here?

Damn this country.

What I don't get is that he was married to Jeri Ryan. And that that wasn't enough sexually for some reason.

The marriage was a while back according to the story. And given that even Hollywood B-listers usually have a couple marriages under their belt's there's not necessarily any contradiction.

I never heard about them being married, all I ever heard was that they were fucking, although this could be an urban legend...

Jerri Ryan was married to this guy and had a kid with him before she started on Voyager. She was still married to him early on during the series and would comute back and forth between California and Illinois on the weekends.

....and then she hooked up with Braga.

Actually I think she hooked up with Braga after her divorce but either way don't you think the voters of Illinois should be thinking about voting for someone else because who would want a Senator who couldn't keep his wife from dumping him for Braga?

"Dude, she dumped him for a Star Trek writer".

"No, no it's even better. She dumped him for a Star Trek: Voyager writer".

No man would marry Jeri Ryan just to fuck her for the sole purpose of having children. That's a massive waste of perfectly good pussy, and this man should be put on trial for criminal negligence of his penis if that's true.

From what I understand, just about any documents that are filed in court are considered public record unless the subject is about a minor. Divorces, lawsuits, etc are all open record UNLESS a judge seals them for some reason. I THINK divorces are hardly ever sealed.
