Nude Images, Videos of Congresswoman and Husband Shared By Former Staffer, Indictment Says
US News ^ | July 13, 2017 | Steve Nelson

Two former Capitol Hill staffers were indicted this week in connection with the alleged sharing of "private, nude images and videos" swiped from a congresswoman's cellphone.

The congresswoman is Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett, her office confirmed Thursday evening. The footage depicts Plaskett, identified in court documents as "Delegate S.P.," and her husband.

In March 2016, Plaskett entrusted her iPhone and its password to staffer Juan McCullum, who, the indictment alleges, copied the nude images and videos after offering to take the phone to an Apple store for repairs.

In July 2016, McCullum, who had left Plaskett's office, allegedly created a Hotmail account and "sent at least eleven email messages to multiple persons, including politicians, members of the media, and other persons known to [Plaskett]."

At least 10 of the emails contained "one or more of the nude images and videos," according to the indictment.

McCullum allegedly also created a Facebook account, uploaded the visual content, and then friended people in Plaskett's district.

Why people continue to do this, and then are surprised when the pictures get out to the public, is beyond me.

Legislation is on the way to take the nip out of this revenge porn to protect our representatives according to the article.

Why do people like to videotape/photograph themselves naked or in the act?

To paraphrase Jerry Seinfield “There is good nudity and there is bad nudity.” I know bad nudity when I see it.

Never take pictures you would not want to be seen in public.

Just as dumb as grown men thinking they are talking with a 15 year old about having sex.

I’m old so I’m mystified as to why anyone would want his phone to contain pictures of himself, and of anyone else who’s important to him, naked. On other hand, I’m a little surprised at how down everyone here is on this story for this one reason: it seems to me the real headline here is:

“WASHINGTON POLITICIAN HAPPILY HAS SEX WITH HER HETEROSEXUAL SPOUSE!”

Not something to be ignored in these absolutely insane,ridiculous days.

Not really a “Congresswoman,” more of a Congress-attendee.

Pretty discrete of the “congresswoman”. NOT. Proof of yet more bad judgement by a DIMocRAT.

WAIT, the Virgin Islands have a VOTE in Kongress? Talk about a bunch of welfare recipients. They’re either in the tourist trade or unemployed

No, the USVI does not have a voting U.S. Representative. Their delegate, like the District of Columbia’s, does not vote.
