John Profumo

/ˌdʒɒn prəˈfjuːməʊ/
/ˌdʒɑːn prəˈfjuːməʊ/
  1. (1915-2006) a minister in the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan, who admitted in 1963 that he had had a sexual relationship with a young woman called Christine Keeler who he met through a man called Stephen Ward. Keeler was also having a sexual relationship with a Russian navy officer, and this was felt to threaten national safety. Profumo resigned, and at the court trials of Christine Keeler and Stephen Ward shocking details were reported about the behaviour of top government figures. The scandal became known as the Profumo Affair, and severely damaged public trust in the government. Profumo left politics but later followed a new career in social work and adult education.(1915-2006)哈罗德·麦克米伦(Harold Macmillan)保守党政府部长,他于 1963 年承认,他与一位名叫克里斯汀·基勒(Christine Keeler)的年轻女子发生了性关系,后者是他通过一个名叫斯蒂芬·沃德(Stephen Ward)的男子认识的。基勒还与一名俄罗斯海军军官发生性关系,这被认为威胁到国家安全。普罗富莫辞职,在克里斯蒂娜·基勒和斯蒂芬·沃德的法庭审判中,有关政府高层人物行为的令人震惊的细节被报道。这起丑闻被称为“普罗富莫事件”,严重损害了公众对政府的信任。普罗富莫离开政坛,但后来从事社会工作和成人教育的新职业。
