Washington
(ANI):
Recession
and
climate
change
worries
may
have
dominated
2009,
but
the
year
will
also
be
remembered
for
some-high-profile
sex
tape
scandals.
This
year's
cast
of
characters
ranges
from
a
champ
golfer
to
California's
most
embarrassed
fifth
grade
teacher.
The
top
ten
list
has
its
share
of
politicians,
beauty
queens,
porn
stars
and
athletes,
but
also
regular
people
who
never
imagined
their
sexual
escapades
would
make
the
front
page.
CBS's
Top
10
Sex
Tape
Scandals
of
2009
are:
1.
Tiger
Woods
"By
far
the
biggest
sex
scandal
of
2009
was
the
sordid
tale
of
Tiger
Woods
and
his
seemingly
unending
supply
of
alleged
mistresses.
After
a
November
car
crash,
Woods
apologized
for
infidelity,
but
didn't
name
names.
That
didn't
stop
the
tabloids,
which
dug
up
more
than
10
women
who
might
have
had
sex
with
Woods,
including
porn
stars,
escorts,
and
cocktail
waitresses."
2.
Carrie
Prejean
"In
2009,
Miss
California
USA
Carrie
Prejean
said
she
stood
for
something:
a
strong
belief
in
God
and
a
dislike
for
gay
marriage.
In
June,
when
she
was
fired
from
her
post,
she
sued
the
pageant
for
religious
discrimination.
They
countersued
over
her
unpaid
breast
implants.
But,
according
to
NBC,
the
legal
battle
imploded
when
pageant
organizers
uncovered
a
sex
tape
featuring
the
religiously
devout
beauty
queen."

in
a

released

The
couple
said
the
video
was
"personal
and
private"
and
sued
Gawker

want

on
the
Internet
don't
make
one."
