In 1988 , Lowe was involved in a sex scandal over a videotape of him having sex with a 16-year-old girl he met in a nightclub . They were videotaped the night before the Democratic National Convention in Atlanta , Georgia . As the age of consent in Georgia was 14 at the time ( until 1995 when it was raised to 16 ) , both were of legal age to engage in sexual activity , although 18 was the legal age to be involved in such a recording . At the time , Lowe was campaigning for Michael Dukakis
