The media didn't put out a lot of credible info on presidents sexual exploits prior to Bill Clinton, who didn't really get away with it. His reputation is and was sullied.
Grover Cleveland took some heat for "taking care" of a child born out wedlock, but historians aren't convinced the child was really his. Several presidents were credibly labeled adulterous.. Most credibly Eisenhower, FDR, Johnson and Harding. Jefferson and Franklin among the Founding Fathers has eyebrow raising sexual history. Many believe Buchanan was gay.
