In another picture, the husband and wife are in a foursome and are seen posing with another couple. Both the women in the photograph are topless and wearing pasties. One of the photographs shows the sheriff's wife kissing another topless woman while holding her breasts, the Daily Mail reports.
Tony also referred all questions to his personal attorney, Natalie Kato. On Monday morning, Kato said, "I have no motherf**king comment. I'm not authorized to give any statement." She did seem to confirm that the pictures were of Tony and his wife.
She indicated so by saying, "Whoever is going to use these photos will risk legal action. His wife and the other people on the photos are not public persons. Only he is." Kato also revealed that the pictures were taken from a members-only website.
The pictures had been taken in August 2015 and April 2016 at 'Liquid Bliss' parties which had taken place at a secret location in Miami which were revealed to couples chosen by organizers for their physical appearance.
There are around 11 pictures of couples swapping parties in Miami that are available to the general public on a website that "organizes erotic events". VIP Bliss markets itself as an organizer of 'erotic events' and 'the world's premier party organization for bi-sexy women and select couples'.
Members who would like to attend the party are required to apply and send at least 6 full body pictures. They must also share their height, weight, age, and notes on experience at parties of this nature. The website states, "While not all our members are models, we look for people that are youthful and fit into the South Florida nightclub scene, that take care of themselves, take pride in their fitness and physical appearance, and try to be the best they can be."
At the time, Tony had been a sergeant in the Coral Springs police department. He was later appointed sheriff in January 2019 when the governor suspended the elected sheriff, Scott Israel. An investigation showed that several of Israel's deputies refused to enter the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where former student Nikolas Cruz and killed 17 people and injured 17 others.
Tony was appointed to take over the Broward County Sheriff's Office. Tony is currently in a high-profile race for sheriff and has accused his political opponent, former sheriff, Scott Israel of being responsible for leaking the photos.
Tony believes he has done this in order to prevent him from winning the 2020 election, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. His supporters believe that he has become the target of people playing dirty politics.
An investigative journalism non-profit website Florida Bulldog reported that Tony had killed a man in Philadelphia which is his hometown when he was 14 in 1993. Tony had claimed to kill Hector Rodriguez, 18, in self-defense.
In a statement, his campaign shared, "This is another attempt by Scott Israel to smear Sheriff Tony’s name and reputation. He tried to depict Sheriff Tony as nothing more than a black kid with a gun, but it backfired because most people see his struggles growing up among violence as an inspirational story of what you can accomplish with hard work and determination no matter where you start."
"Now, Israel is stooping even lower by releasing pictures that instead of just attacking the sheriff, include his wife in an attempt to embarrass and slander her. Broward County voters will see past these disgraceful political tactics."
