Susanna Gibson, a Democrat running in one of seven tossup House seats in the closely divided legislature, denounced the “illegal invasion of my privacy.”

A Democratic candidate in a crucial race for the Virginia General Assembly denounced reports on Monday that she and her husband had performed live on a sexually explicit streaming site.

Susanna Gibson, a nurse practitioner running in her first election cycle, said in a statement that the leaks about the online activity were “an illegal invasion of my privacy designed to humiliate me and my family.”

The Washington Post and The Associated Press reported on Monday that tapes of live-streamed sexual activity had been recorded from a pornographic site and archived on another site. The New York Times has not independently verified the content of the videos. The Democratic Party of Virginia did not respond to a request for comment.

Ms. Gibson, 40, who appears on her campaign website in hospital scrubs as well as at home with her husband and two young children, is running for the House of Delegates in one of only a handful of competitive races that will determine control of the General Assembly. Republicans hold a slim majority in the House, and Democrats narrowly control the State Senate, but both chambers are up for grabs in November.

    Giving some people permission to watch you fuck doesn’t give everyone permission to watch you fuck.

    Again, it was public on chaturbate, they literally gave everyone in the world over 18 permission to watch them fuck. This is a matter of whether giving everyone in the world permission to watch you fuck entitles them to tape it and reshare it or replay it. Morally that’s a lot more nuanced than a private sex show.

    Also, from other comments in here it seems like legally based on the terms of service they agreed to they explicitly did give permission for their public performance to enter the public domain.

    Please take some time to look at yourself and consider why you want so badly for this to be fine when it’s obviously not.

    Please take some time to go fuck yourself (on or off stream) for not so subtly implying that I have any emotional stake in this, instead of just trying to have a nuanced discussion about the ethics around recording a public performance.
