1. Rep. Mel Reynolds; Assault, Abuse, Obstruction of Justice
Reynolds isn’t the most well-known, but is arguably the slimiest felon among Chicago-area criminal politicians. He was indicted in 1994 for Sexual Assault and Criminal Sexual Abuse for forcing himself on a 16-year-old campaign volunteer. Additional charges of Obstruction of Justice and Solicitation of Child X-Rated Filmography were later added.
Reynolds denied the charges, claiming they were racially motivated. The jury disagreed, and Reynolds was convicted on all 12 counts. In 1995 he was sentenced to five years in prison.
Then in 1997, Reynolds was convicted on 16 additional unrelated counts of Bank Fraud. That would have added another 78 months of jail time, but outgoing President Bill Clinton commuted the Bank Fraud sentence.
