Susanna Gibson, a Democratic candidate vying for a seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates for District 57 in Richmond, has been found to have been involved in online adult performances with her husband. The New York Post obtained screenshots that indicate her participation in such acts on the adult streaming website known as Chaturbate.
Gibson, a 40-year-old nurse practitioner and mother of two, is not a stranger to the online world of adult streaming. Evidence shows that after she announced her candidacy, recordings of her live performances with her husband were archived on the website Recurbate in September 2022. These claims were first brought to the public's attention by the Washington Post.
Her online persona was fairly popular, boasting over 5,770 followers on Chaturbate. During her broadcasts, Gibson often encouraged her viewers to purchase "tokens" to gain access to more exclusive content, mentioning that the money raised was for a "good cause." Additionally, she made claims about her personal life, stating that she and her husband had experimented with partner swapping due to her belief in ethical non-monogamy. However, she noted that her husband was not as comfortable with the idea.
Throughout these sessions, Gibson frequently expressed gratitude to her viewers when they purchased tokens. Her husband, who practices law, even supported her requests during at least one of the broadcasts. Interestingly, Chaturbate's own terms and conditions explicitly state that demanding specific acts in exchange for tips could result in a ban for all involved parties.
Addressing the controversy, Watkins, the attorney representing Gibson, referenced a 2021 ruling from a Virginia Appeals Court. The case determined that it was unlawful for a man to secretly film his girlfriend during a consensual sexual act, even if the footage was never distributed.
Watkins also mentioned that they are in active collaboration with both state and federal law enforcement regarding this matter. However, Gibson's campaign has yet to release an official statement.In the political arena, Gibson will face off against Republican candidate David Owen, an ex-home builder, in the upcoming election on November 7. This election is significant as the Democratic Party aims to reestablish their majority in the 100-member Virginia House.
