They profited from child prostitution and then donated to Kyrsten Sinema

Money comes with strings, and that is bad news for Rep. Kyrsten Sinema. The Arizona Democrat wants to become a senator but finds herself having to explain why she took political donations from the owners of a website accused of knowingly allowing advertisements offering sex with underage girls.

Sinema took more than $53,000 from Michael Lacey and James Larkin, founders of the classified website formerly known as Backpage.com. The FBI seized control of Backpage in April 2018 because the adult section included advertisements for prostitution and human trafficking, which the website allegedly encouraged.
