MI Republican Josh Shriver has introduced anti porn laws. Data breach reveals porn account linked to him
GOP lawmaker who compared adult websites to heroin linked to graphic hookup site account
A Republican state lawmaker in Michigan who has condemned LGBTQ rights, called oral sex "a crime against God," and introduced legislation to ban pornography in the state has been linked to an account on an extremely graphic adult dating website that promises hookups of all kinds, reported the Detroit Metro Times on Tuesday.
According to the report, state Rep. Josh Schriver, who represents the far northern suburbs of Detroit, "has called porn a 'scourge' and compared it to heroin ... But data reviewed by Metro Times show that an account linked to his personal AOL email address appeared in a data breach from Fling.com, a pornographic dating site that features live web cams and promised users they could 'find sex' and 'get laid tonight.' An archived version of the site shows it provided access to explicit photos, videos, and live sex webcams."
He denies ownership of the account and claims the records were "forged," saying, “I’ve never heard of this website or accessed it.” However, Metro Times found strong evidence this account was indeed his: "The same email address and password appear in multiple other breaches linked to Schriver’s verified personal accounts, including MySpace and Chegg, a homework help platform. The birthday and IP address in the Fling.com records align with Schriver’s March 1992 birth date and his time as a student at Michigan State University in East Lansing, where he graduated in 2015."
