The NYT describes the revelation of this unusual campaign fund raising effort as an illegal "leak", but I don't think that word means what they think it means

"Y'all can watch me pee if you tip me some tokens. Again, I'm raising money for a good cause."

Democrat candidate posts naked photos of herself on public websites, offers to let paying customers watch her urinate, and let her husband “f***k me in the a**, then complains about an invasion of privacy when Republicans alert the media to the streaming posts. Our Mainstream Media complains that it’s another example of Republicans “pouncing”.

The candidate herself claims that Republicans have committed “an illegal invasion” of privacy. I foresee difficulties ahead for her if she actually acts on her threat to sue.

NYT:

Releasing damaging information about candidates of the opposing party into the heat of a campaign is an age-old political practice, but the sensational nature of the disclosure of sex tapes — reportedly featuring Ms. Gibson and her husband, a lawyer — is highly unusual. Ms. Gibson called the release of the tapes “the worst gutter politics.” The Post said it learned of the material from a “Republican operative” who denied a connection to Ms. Gibson’s opponent, David Owen, or to other political groups in Virginia.

Daniel P. Watkins, a lawyer for Ms. Gibson, said it was unlawful in the state to record someone in a state of undress and distribute it to a third party without that person’s consent.

“It’s illegal and it’s disgusting to disseminate this kind of material, and we’re working closely with the F.B.I. and local prosecutors to bring the wrongdoers to justice,” Mr. Watkins said.

The Washington Post explained the details of how the videos surfaced:

Chaturbate videos are streamed live on that site and are often archived on other publicly available sites. More than a dozen videos of the couple captured from the Chaturbate stream were archived on one of those sites — Recurbate — in September 2022, after she entered the race. The most recent were two videos archived on Sept. 30, 2022. It is unclear when the live stream occurred.

While still listed on Recurbate, those videos were no longer available for viewing as of Saturday, after a Republican operative alerted The Washington Post about them. But the videos remained live on another non-password-protected site, which The Post viewed. At least two other publicly available sites displayed explicit still photos from the videos, The Post confirmed.

Gibson, 40, can be seen in the videos soliciting “tips” for performing specific acts — in apparent violation of Chaturbate’s terms and conditions, which say: “Requesting or demanding specific acts for tips may result in a ban from the Platform for all parties involved.”

The Daily Wire offers more salacious details:

Susanna Gibson, who is running for a seat in the narrowly divided Virginia statehouse, was as recently as last year posting as “HotWifeExperience” on the website Chaturbate, where men could pay tokens to get her to perform specific sex acts. In one video recorded shortly after she launched her campaign last year, she told her husband, “I’ll let you f— me in the a– doggy style in a private room if someone wants to pay. That’s the deal.”

In another video, she appears to say that for the right price, viewers could watch her urinate. “Y’all can watch me pee if you tip me and some tokens,” she said. “Again, I’m raising money for a good cause.”

“I like being choked. I like being hit. I do,” she said in one video posted exactly a year ago, on September 11, 2022.

….

Though she posted the videos online for her nearly 6,000 followers on Chaturbate, she now claims it to be a “sex crime” to shed light on the existence of her account.

“My political opponents and their Republican allies have proven they’re willing to commit a sex crime to attack me and my family because there’s no line they won’t cross to silence women when they speak up,” Gibson told the Washington Post.

Bwaaahahahaha

(There will be a fundraiser for Ron DeSantis at the Riverside home of Scott and Icy Frantz tomorrow, and though I haven’t heard directly from Scott, I’m told by his butler that there will be no similar videos of the candidate shown at the luncheon, so you may want to save your money.)
