| Susanna Gibson and her husband / Daily Express US |
Susanna Gibson, a Democratic candidate in a crucial race for the Virginia General Assembly, strongly condemned reports that alleged she and her husband had performed live on a sexually explicit streaming site.
She characterized the leak as an invasion of her privacy aimed at humiliating her and her family.
Gibson is running for the House of Delegates in a highly competitive race that could impact control of the General Assembly, and she vowed not to drop out despite the controversy.
The release of the tape is considered highly unusual in the context of political campaigns, and her lawyer, Daniel P. Watkins, stated that it may be illegal under Virginia law.
The incident has occurred in the broader political context of a power struggle between Democrats and Republicans for control of Virginia's legislative bodies.
