RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia had sex with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website and asked viewers to pay them money in return for carrying out specific sex acts.
Gibson called the exposure of the videos “the worst gutter politics.”“It won’t intimidate me and it won’t silence me,” she said in the statement.
The revelation marked an explosive turn in a contest that will carry significant weight in determining the balance of power in the Virginia General Assembly.
A top-ranking Virginia Democrat immediately came to Gibson’s defense after the videos were reported by the Post.
Chaturbate videos are streamed live on that site and are often archived on other publicly available sites, the Post reported.
