In South Carolina, The State Law Enforcement Division, “SLED”, is investigating the release of a video showing private moments involving Belton Mayor Tiffany Ownbey and an unidentified man. An attorney representing Ms. Ownbey claims she is a victim of “revenge porn” according to GreenvilleOnline.

The attorney for Ownbey has stated that a man secretly recorded the video of a “private and intimate encounter” with Ownbey many years ago and threatened to distribute the video if she broke up with him. The identity of the man who has been accused of recording the video has not been disclosed at this point.

“We continue to look into the situation, and we’re exhausting all forensics and investigative leads,” said SLED spokesperson Tommy Crosby.

Ownbey’s attorney also stated that they are waiting for the conclusion of the investigation before considering further legal action.
