'Traditional Family values' Michigan lawmaker appears in adult hookup sites

Information linked to Republican state Rep. Bryan Posthumus is contained in data breaches of Ashley Madison, AdultFriendFinder, and Fling.com

The name, email address, and home address of Republican state Rep. Bryan Posthumus of Kent County, along with a credit card bearing his name, appear in data from Ashley Madison, a website for people seeking affairs.

Posthumus, who has built his political career around “traditional family values,” was married in March 2012 when the account under his name was used multiple times to access the chat and mail features, according to records reviewed by Metro Times and verified through publicly available cybersecurity databases.

Posthumus’s personal information also shows up on two other adult hookup websites — AdultFriendFinder and Fling.com, a pornographic dating site that features live web cams and promised users they could “find sex” and “get laid tonight.”

An AdultFriendFinder account used the possy355@aol.com email address and was last accessed in 2012.

It seems more and more likely the Washington DC Republican organization could actually be a thing. It sure appears to be an awful lot of them being outed for less than conservative sexual behavior.
