One candidate in the tight Senate battle in Nebraska found herself at the center of numerous controversies weeks before Election Day.
Democrat Dan Osborn, 49, denies allegations that he was exposed for being on Ashley Madison, despite being married to his wife Megan, with whom he shares three children, for 22 years.
An email address directly linked to Osborn was used to sign up for the infamous affair website Ashley Madison, DailyMail.com has learned.
The dating website is known for facilitating extramarital relationships. It was founded in 2001 with the slogan ‘life is short, have an affair’, with more than 37 million unfaithful spouses taking the bait.
His email address linked to his date of birth and public address was among the thousands compromised in a now-infamous 2015 Ashley Madison hack, according to documents.
The couple tied the knot in 2002, Osborn indicated in a podcast earlier this year.
DailyMail.com reached out to the Osborn campaign and his wife for comment on claims that his email was found on the site.
His campaign denies that Osborn ever “used Ashley Madison.” But the candidate had access to the email – a “shared company account” that “several people” were using.
Osborn, a Catholic, is also dealing with other rumored scandals.
He had access to a Twitter account where he was previously found to be into explicit gay porn and photos of naked girls on X, according to screenshots obtained by DailyMail.com.

The screenshots – too graphic to post in full – alongside the Ashley Madison account could create difficult campaign conditions for the Independent as he recently gained an edge over his opponent.
Last week, a SurveyUSA poll showed Osborn leading Republican Party incumbent Sen. Deb Fischer by one point.
Fischer has held the position for more than a decade and Osborn has proven to be one of her most competitive challengers yet.
But these new revelations could have an impact on the rising Independent star’s campaign.
His campaign has not explained why Osborn’s email was found among those involved in the 2015 Ashley Madison cheating site data breach.
The email, which online records indicate is affiliated with Osborn, can be found by searching databases containing account information from that breach.
That account was “found” among data hacked from Ashley Madison, the third-party site claims.
It should be noted that the email listed in the database does not necessarily indicate that Osborn signed up himself; someone else could have done this on their behalf, but the email was found in the cheat site’s files.
Osborn’s campaign also denies that he “liked” gay pornography on Twitter, now X, between 2020 and 2021.
But they confirmed that Osborn had access to the “BCTGM 50G Union President” account, along with “several people.”

“The account in question was the account of the Chairman of the BCTGM 50G Union. Multiple people had access to this account and had the ability to like Tweets. Dan did not like these tweets,” a spokesperson said.
Screenshots from the former union leader’s
The screenshots of his likes on X were taken in mid-2023.
The numbers at the end of the online handle are the numbers from the union Osborn used to lead.
According to Osborn’s campaign site, “He then rose to become president of his union, BCTGM 50G.”

The images reviewed by DailyMail.com show that this account liked multiple sexual messages ranging from February 2020 to June 2021.
This included a tweet from February 19, 2020 containing a video of three men having sex, according to the screenshots.
The clip linked to the websites of several gay OnlyFans creators featured in the video.
“Afternoon fuck with my boyfriend #gay #anal #sex #assworhip #f***myhole #analdreams #bisexual #pansexual,” read another post from September 17, 2020.
It contained a video of two people having sex.
Another post that Osborn apparently liked was from the ‘Hotties Promo 100k’ account on August 15, 2020.
Another liked post from the same account shows a woman fully visible from the waist down
The image shows a woman naked from the waist down bending over from behind, fully exposing herself to the camera. It contains a link to the woman’s OnlyFans account.
A September 30, 2020 post from that same account, also liked by the account associated with Osborn, shows four photos of a woman looking on suggestively.
This post also contains links to the woman’s personal content accounts.
Republicans were quick to condemn Osborn over the revelations.
“This reporting is shocking,” Mike Berg, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), told DailyMail.com.
“Dan Osborn is married with children, so he obviously doesn’t want to admit that he created an online profile to cheat on his wife or that he spends his free time on social media and is into hardcore gay porn.”
“That said, the evidence that Osborn had created an Ashley Madison profile and was into raunchy gay porn on the Internet is quite damning,” Berg added. “My prayers are for Dan Osborn’s family.”
Osborn recently flew to Los Angeles to hold a fundraiser and visit his eldest daughter, 21-year-old Georgia Osborn, who works as a “Gothic exotic dancer” in Hollywood.

The independent senatorial candidate from Nebraska has said his daughter is a “professional dancer” in Los Angeles, which he says is “very exciting stuff.” He used money from his Senate campaign to finance a stay at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, the disclosures show
According to his financial disclosures, Osborn spent $290 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for a stay on June 7 where he visited his daughter.
He held a fundraising reception in LA a few days earlier, on June 5, where packages ranged from $1,000 to $100.
The chic, nearly 100-year-old four-star hotel where he stayed features a marble- and chandelier-laden lobby. It is considered one of the most historic and famous lodges in the area.
Posts on Facebook from his goth-dancing daughter Georgia, who attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, show her and dad hanging out together on the same date.
“I gotta see my dad come over to LA!” Georgia Osborn posted some photos of her and her father on June 7.

During a May podcast interview with Righteous Media, the Independent revealed details about his daughter publicly, saying, “Her name is Georgia, she is now 21 years old and she is a professional dancer in Hollywood.”
“It’s very exciting stuff,” Osborn continued in his performance.
Osborn also has a son, Liam, who just graduated from high school and a daughter, Eve, who just started her high school experience, according to posts on Megan Morrissey Osborn’s Facebook posts.
