"(AP Photo/Steve Helber) A former Democratic candidate for the Virginia legislature, whose X-rated movies with her husband were exposed before the election, has been charged with domestic violence this week. Susanna Gibson Payne, 42, was arrested on September 22 for assault and battery against a family member. Payne claimed that her husband, 44-year-old John David Gibson, has been harassing her amid their divorce since last year."
"Payne and Gibson grabbed headlines in 2023 when Payne was running for office, and videos the couple had posted on the porn site Chaturbate were discovered and exposed. The couple was accused of making the videos for tips, though they denied that the videos were for profit. At the time, Payne said she was determined to stay in the race. In the end, she lost by less than 1,000 votes."
Susanna Gibson Payne, 42, was arrested Sept. 22 on an assault and battery charge involving a family member. She alleges husband John David Gibson, 44, harassed her during their divorce and assaulted her during a June 2025 custody exchange while she protected their son, after which he filed a retaliatory criminal complaint. Payne turned herself in after a misdemeanor warrant. Gibson denies the assault and was arrested in December for violating a protection order and using threatening language, which he said followed an argument with Payne’s new boyfriend. Explicit videos the couple posted on Chaturbate surfaced during her 2023 campaign; she lost by fewer than 1,000 votes. Payne accused opponents of exploiting the material and criticized how the justice system treats survivors.
