No doubt. Saw the videos, like what I saw. Would still vote for her.
You should probably report where you saw them- it's revenge porn.
They've already been removed from recurbate, so presumably her team is searching for the alternatives today. They're not at all difficult to find, and given that it was consensual and posted to the internet by her and her husband, I find it highly unlikely a judge will rule that it's revenge porn, which requires that the third party "disseminate or sell" the material. All they did was tip off the press, who also didn't disseminate or sell the videos. Also the servers they're located on now are probably foreign.
I think that's the problem, it wasn't posted by her or her husband.
She and her husband were streaming on Chaturbate. Someone archived the videos.
A month after she announced her candidacy, someone took the archived copies and uploaded them.
A little different than if she or her husband did it themselves or if it were automatic. The timing seems retributive.
All Chaturbate streams are public domain according to their ToS. She agreed to those terms when she decided to put porn on the internet.
Nice job reading the tos.

Got a link?
I don't care that she did it, but if you have live sex for strangers on the Internet then you've got to realize that footage can be around forever.
Agreed. Anyone can access it.
If there's anything voters hate more than atheists, it's women that show any sort of sexuality. Juxtapose that with several very high elections and appointments of men who have sexually assaulted women if you'd like to feel a little disgusted this morning.
I'd like to vote for a sex worker for president. They'd be way less likely to assault anyone or be a pedophile than most of the people we elect now.
So if I understand correctly, our candidate live-streamed sexual activity to Chaturbate, and is mad that someone saved and uploaded the video elsewhere.
Our candidate is a naive idiot.
"Invasion of my privacy without consent" You waived any claim to privacy when you hit the Begin Stream button and invited To Whom It May Concern into your bedroom. The video left your computer and arrived on someone else's computer, and hence permanently entered the state of being "on the internet." You're 40 years old, you and I grew up on the same internet in the same time period, you are both young and old enough to know better.
If you don't want the entire internet to see your gonads, don't upload your gonads to the internet. Probably don't even photograph your gonads in the first place, because your phone probably puts your entire camera folder on the internet anyway.
On the topic of a 40 year old woman and candidate for state office sharing an active and apparently adventurous sex life with her husband: Excellent, carry on. Living as long as I have under the thumb of right wing hypocrites who spend their entire lives trying to criminalize anything except being white, male and straight pausing only to take it up the ass in an airport men's room, I'd honestly prefer a candidate whose take on the matter is "YEAH I like getting dicked all the way down. Wanna watch?"
It's the blaming someone else for something YOU did that chuffs my spuds here. You chose to broadcast. And you can't stop the signal, Mal.
That's disgusting! What website are those tapes kept on? So I can avoid ever going to those places!
Mac get outta here

The moral colors of the pro piracy wing of lemmy coming out in force with no understanding of consent or nuance.
I've made sure to make all my sex videos as Vines, so no one will ever see them.
Who cares (aside from her clearly)? She is an adult and had sex with her husband (wouldn't matter if it was not her husband either). Whoopdie doo. What are her views on healthcare and taxing carbon emissions?
I find it funny that they used the term "invasion of privacy". She and her hubby went onto Chatterbate (I don't know the exact website name) and took tips from others to perform (according to my morning paper). That's a public display. And the fact that it didn't dawn on her that this could be out there is astonishing. I know if I ever put a picture on the internet, it's there FOREVER, and just because I'm a nobody doesn't mean someone out there archived it for later.
Edit: I changed leaked to invasion of privacy.
That something was predictable doesn’t excuse the people doing it.
That's true but still, you can't exactly claim "invasion of privacy" if you filmed and streamed it live to the Internet yourself.
People should not film it if they don't want others to see it. That's the golden rule of porn
You can claim malicious dissemination of a nude, which is a crime in VA: https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter8/section18.2-386.2/
where such person knows or has reason to know that he is not licensed or authorized to disseminate or sell such videographic or still image
Would this not be governed by the terms of the stream? If the content was created via a platform, the explicit definition of who has authorization to disseminate it certainly wouldn't rest solely with the creator.
When she streamed she legally declared her own information to be in the public domain.

Can we just agree that if someone does something for fun or profit that isn't illegal or unethical they can just be free to go about their business? I'd share plenty of explicit content of my wife and I were it not for bullshit like this. (Also these days we're old and plain enough that no one would give a fuck, but anyway word would eventually get back to family and coworkers because too many people hate folks just enjoying themselves and sharing.)
Doxxing someone over sex is soliciting harm to them - inciting others to "punish" them for legal, consensual behavior. There is nothing wrong with what they did, but there is something wrong with trying to use it to hurt them, despite the fact that in a reasonable world no one would care beyond idle curiosity.

Except archiving and disseminating in this way is a violation of Virginia law. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter8/section18.2-386.2/

She's an idiot if she thinks live streaming porn of herself online was somehow ever going to be private.
