Obama

In 1999 the actress Jeri Ryan, famous for her role in Star Trek: Voyager divorced from her then-husband Jack. In 2003 when he ran for an open Senate seat, unsealed court records revealed that Jeri accused Jack of asking her to perform sex acts in public and in clubs, and these revelations eventually led to Jack dropping out of the Senate race. His main opponent for that Illinois Senate seat: Barack Obama, who would eventually go on to be a two-term President. In a way, you could argue that if it wasn’t for Star Trek and sex clubs, America would have had to wait for its first black President.
