Pedophiles, Rapists & Worse: The Biggest Sex Scandals Of 2015

The National ENQUIRER shocked Hollywood — and the entire world — by breaking the story that Charlie Sheen, at one time the highest-paid actor on TV, was not only diagnosed HIV-positive but was continuing his insane all-party-all-the-time lifestyle and endangering his sexual partners, many of whom he did not inform of his diseased condition. The disgusting Charlie shockingly admitted to paying millions upon millions of dollars in hush money and providing other favors to buy the silence of those who knew his secret. Charlie certainly wasn’t “winning” when he was sleeping with partners of all genders — and not being too worried about taking his meds consistently.

When it comes to accused serial rapists, no one is a bigger offender than Bill Cosby, the once-beloved comedian and archetypal TV father who this year stood accused of drugging, raping and molesting as many as 99 women by The ENQUIRER’s count! One by one, brave women stepped forward to level stunning accusations of being drugged and abused by the TV star — and then cowed into silence by his power and fame. And then the dirty old man had the nerve to victimize several women again by filing countersuits alleging defamation! It was a plunge from grace like no other — and who know how many more women may be waiting in the wings to step out of the shadows next year?

The former Subway pitchman had an unsavory taste for underage hookers and trafficking kiddie porn — to bad habits he funneled through his partner-in-crime, the head of his children’s charity, who provided porn made to order! Fogle was sentenced 15 years in prison — without Subway subs.

Josh Duggar — who became famous on TLC's "19 Kids and Counting" — and preached family values for the Family Research Council was the poster boy for hypocrites! He thumped his Bible knowing that he had sexually molested some of his underage sisters! As if that wasn’t bad enough, the perv also cheated on his wife with prostitutes and was a member of AshleyMadison.com, the website for married cheaters. At least he clearly knows a sinner when he sees one!

A team of investigative reporters from The ENQUIRER combed through FBI files this year to expose a number of secrets — including a 333-page file on Michael Jackson that revealed the bureau probed a number of videotapes seized from Michael’s home, particularly one called “Michael Jackson’s Neverland Favorites, an All Boy Anthology.” The heavily censored files did not reveal the results of the investigation.

In a stunning turnaround, the underage victim in Roman Polanski’s infamous rape scandal forgave the director for attacking her when she was just 13 years old in 1977. Samantha Geimer said the “Chinatown” director drugged her and raped her. “I have absolutely forgiven (Polanski),” she said. “I feel like he owned up to what he did.”

The National ENQUIRER reported that little Gabriella Doolin was attending a youth football game with her parents at a local high school on Nov. 14 when she suddenly disappeared. Just 25 minutes later, the 7-year-old’s body was found in a creek in a wooded area only 400 yards away from the Scottsville, Ky., stadium. She’d been strangled, drowned and raped. Six days after her slaying, 38-year-old father of five Timothy Madden, an old school pal of Gabriella’s dad, Brian, was charged with murder, kidnapping, first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy. He is being held on $1 million cash bond. “I feel sorry for them, but it wasn’t me,” said Madden of the Doolin family’s loss. “I’m innocent.”

Two demented women desperate to have babies faked pregnancies and then attacked moms-to-be — cutting the unborn infants right out of the wombs, police charge! Former nurse’s aide Dynel Lane lured seven-months-pregnant Michelle Wilkins, 26, to her Longmont, Colo., home on March 18 where Lane, 34, beat and stabbed the woman and cut out her baby. Michelle managed to call 911 and survived. Tragically, her baby girl died. Ashleigh Wade, 22, invited her nearly nine-months-pregnant friend, Angelikque Sutton, 22, to her Bronx, N.Y., apartment Nov. 20 where Wade repeatedly stabbed Sutton before ripping her unborn child out of her body, say police. Angelikque later died at the hospital, but her daughter survived.
