A candidate in a high-stakes legislative contest in Virginia performed sex acts with her husband in live videos posted on a pornographic website while asking viewers to pay them with “tokens" or ”tips” for individual requests.
It’s interesting to me that she’s suggesting people are breaking the revenge porn law for content she freely uploaded online as a camgirl, doesn’t really seem like it fits.
I doubt any lawyer worth their bar license would be unable to convince a jury of average Internet users that she disseminated those videos on the Internet herself. Her alleged expectation that they wouldn’t be stored or otherwise available in the future is laughable.
Now she (or more likely the website she used) might have a cause of action against the person if they tried to sell them or otherwise profit from them, but only from an intellectual property point of view. Definitely no sex crimes happened here.
Assuming she is telling the truth, someone (not her) recorded her Chaturbate session, and then uploaded it to another site or sites without her permission

What are you talking about?

That is 100% a crime under revenge porn laws
Simply recording the stream may have been a crime
Doing a one time streaming event is totally different than recording that event and re-uploading it in a more permanent fashion.
Especially since the upload only happened a month after she announced her candidacy.
