John Edwards Sex Tape Alleged by Former Aide/Patsy Andrew Young
Ace of Spades HQ — John Edwards Sex Tape Alleged by Former Aide/Patsy Andrew Young Andrew Young was the aide who falsely took the paternity rap for John Edwards' love-baby.

Hunter was hired to make videos of Edwards, "but this one is said to have shown him taking positions that weren’t on his official platform."
