Republican lawmaker’s offices in Virginia’s 57th House race are sending voters explicit fliers containing screenshots from a public porn livestream displaying Democratic candidate Susanna Gibson performing sexual acts while asking viewers for money tips on an ongoing livestream video feed.
Nurse practitioner Nicole Gibson is competing against businessman David Owen in an important legislative race, and hasn’t ruled out another run for office at some point in the future. But she is taking these attacks against her seriously and not taking them lying down.
Explicit Videos of Democrat Candidate Published Online
Virginia Democrat Susanna Gibson has denied allegations that she and her husband engaged in livestreamed sex acts for chaturbate “tips.” Gibson is running against Republican David Owen in Virginia’s 57th House district – one of seven competitive House seats this fall – where this type of video footage has disrupted personal lives and lead to harassment or death threats for both.
She’s calling on fellow lawmakers to pass legislation punishing people who share nonconsensual intimate images and videos, commonly referred to as revenge porn. If passed, this bill would make it a misdemeanor to distribute, sell, or publish nude or sexually explicit photos and videos without consent of subjects; additionally she wants amend the felony stalking statute so as to include penalties against persons using weapons such as guns in engaging in such illegal acts.
Most states have laws against revenge porn, though their penalties and prosecution can often vary significantly. Most revenge porn laws aim to protect victims against harm caused by the dissemination of private information such as severe distress and damage to reputation; while offering them compensation for emotional trauma, lost wages, or attorney fees.
Virginia’s current revenge porn law criminalizes any act that maliciously distributes nude or sexual images, videos or photographs. Furthermore, it makes using electronic devices without consent to take or record pictures/video of another individual without their knowledge an unlawful offense punishable by up to one year in jail for conviction; any conviction could adversely impact job interviews and security clearance applications negatively; therefore it’s vital that anyone facing a revenge porn charge immediately hire a criminal attorney to defend them.
Democratic House of Delegates candidate Susanna Gibson
With just two weeks to go before Election Day, Virginia’s Republican Party has sent political fliers that warn voters about “explicit material.” Inside each envelope are censored quotes and screenshots from live sex videos of Democratic House of Delegates candidate Susanna Gibson streaming with her husband on Chaturbate; these videos have caused waves in one of Virginia’s most competitive legislative races; Gibson is running against Republican businessman David Owen for Virginia’s 57th District – considered crucial by Democrats attempting to overthrow GOP’s 50-46 advantage in Virginia’s state House of Delegates.
Gibson responded to the videos by denouncing “gutter politics” in interviews while The Washington Post reported on Monday that she and her husband filmed themselves performing sexual acts for tips on their website, asking viewers to donate money in return for specific sexual acts they performed. Due to this leak of her private life she claims that death threats have been made against her as well as physical threats being made against both she and her family members.
Republican operative whose identity the Post agreed to protect brought the videos to our attention, along with warning fliers featuring screenshots from videos as well as excerpts from news coverage of sex scandal.
The Republican Party of Virginia maintains it is not violating any state laws by disseminating fliers with sexual imagery of individuals without their consent, with an aim of harassing or intimidating them. A civil rights attorney informed HuffPost however that according to a 2021 Virginia court ruling it is illegal to share nonconsensual pornographic images without their knowledge for harassment purposes and with intent to harass or intimidate someone.
