A Democratic candidate running in a New York Congressional seat has been busted for once engaging in an explicit activity while serving his country.

The New York Post revealed on Sunday that 37-year-old Chris Gallant, who is running in New York’s 1st congressional district, was previously involved in another campaign: selling toys as a model for a fetish sex shop in San Francisco.

The shop, Mr. S Leather, sells items generally targeted toward gay individuals, such as leather-daddy supplies, wearing collars, leather straps, neoprene, bondage gear, and more.

Here is one of the pictures obtained by the Post that is going viral online. The photo of him was reportedly shot in 2007, when he was roughly 18 years of age:

The photos can also be accessed in Internet archives, which show they were online between 2011 and 2020.

These photos, which were first obtained by the Messenger, show Gallant in BDSM pretending to engage in sexually explicit activities with another male.

Gallant is a Black Hawk helicopter pilot who has served in the Army National Guard since 2006. This means these NSFW photos were taken during his time of service.

He is also openly gay and engaged to another man.

Gallant’s attorney, Sara Azari, confirmed to the Post that her client was the person in the photos and added that he was in a committed relationship with another man at the time.

Azari added that Gallant is a friend of Mr. S Leather’s owner and that the shoot was supposed to be “fun and personal.”

Gallant confirmed that the photos were of him.

Despite the salacious nature of the photos, local Democrats are not only standing firmly by him but also seem proud of the materials.

For example, Suffolk County Democratic Chair Rich Schaffer staunchly defended Gallant’s weird past and gushed over his “six-pack.”

Gallant will face incumbent GOP congressman Nick LaLota in November. LaLota is currently favored to hold onto his seat.
