[2] Persistent rumors of homosexuality. These rumors are, however, tainted by political motives: he was the target of a smear campaign by his Republican opponents. Allain's attorney obtained in 1984 sworn statements by three male prostitutes who previously made allegations of homosexual activity with Allain, that their earlier allegations were invented. Allain did not run for reelection in 1987.
