An Arizona sheriff running for Congress on a conservative family values platform allegedly destroyed a friend's marriage by engaging them in his swinging lifestyle.
Ex-Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, 53, a Trump-endorsed Republican candidate to become US Representative for Arizona's 5th Congressional District, is reportedly accused by multiple women of having extramarital affairs and sending lewd texts.
Lamb and his wife Janel allegedly sent nude and provocative photos to people in their wild private lives. One of his longtime friends, Jillian Stannard, alleged they engaged her husband in an affair which resulted in their divorce, according to Arizona Republic.
She alleged that Lamb facilitated the affair between his wife and her husband Matt Hilsabeck, one of the sheriff's closest friends and the chair of his election committee. Stannard accused him of involving them in a sordid swinging club.
The outlet shared a bombshell report Thursday alleging that Lamb had a habit of sending flirtatious messages and photos to a number of women - in stark contrast to his 'family man' public image.
In one reported incident while he was sheriff, Lamb allegedly threatened to send state police after Tammy Peacock in an attempt to stop her publicly sharing his messages and photos.
Lamb sent her a link to the state's revenge porn statute and warned her that it was a 'Class 4 felony,' it is claimed. 'Please just no more posting... I will call DPS (Arizona Department of Public Safety)', he begged her according to the report. Lamb allegedly told Peacock he could control the DPS and order them 'not to proceed'. He added: 'My wife says she is okay with that too.'
Lamb has denied allegations of sexual impropriety, and his attorneys branded the recent accusations 'false' and 'baseless and harmful.'

The Arizona Republic shared dozens of alleged raunchy exchanges and sexual images sent from Lamb's phone and social media accounts from before and after he became sheriff in 2017.
Andrew Gould, a former Arizona Supreme Court justice now working for Lamb's campaign, told the Republic that rumors had 'circulated online for years', and said they 'are repeated without verification and often to only cause great reputational and political harm.'
The Daily Mail has contacted Lamb's campaign and Gould for further comment.
Lamb has made his experience as a sheriff central to his campaign for Congress, and he titled his 2020 political memoir, 'American Sheriff: Traditional Values in a Modern World.'
He and his wife Janel are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with Janel also publishing a book titled, 'The Sheriff's Wife: Holding It All Together Behind the Scenes in Politics.'
But according to the report, the couple are 'open with a close circle of friends about their sexual activity and partners', and they allegedly often shared nude and provocative photos with others.
In screenshots allegedly sent from Lamb's phone, he is seen flexing his muscles and posing with his shirt off, as a woman responded, 'Oh I want to taste your sweat.'
Stannard, who accused the Lambs of breaking up her marriage, also alleged that Lamb showed her a black-and-white picture of his penis out of the blue.
She said Lamb facilitated an affair between his wife and her husband Matt Hilsabeck, and said he was part of a small group who exchanged photos and sexual favors, the report alleged.

A bombshell report on Lamb's alleged private life stands in stark contrast to the conservative family man image he has portrayed in his political life
Allegations of sexual impropriety - which Lamb denies - have haunted the lawman's political ambitions in the past, including his re-election campaign for sheriff in 2020 when his opponent shared mailers calling him a 'sexual predator' and a 'pervert.'
The rival campaign also posted flyers on car windshields across Pinal County accusing lamb of 'sending pornographic pictures of himself to women and has made threats against those who complain.'
A legal filing seen by the Daily Mail said allegations around Lamb's private life are well known in Arizona, as Beth Goulden, the chair of the Arizona Sex Offender Management Board, said Pinal County Prosecuting Attorney Brad Miller bragged about it.
Goulden alleged in a sexual discrimination filing that Miller made 'inappropriate sexual comments' to her about Lamb, stating: 'You know Mark and Janel are swingers', per the filing.
He allegedly added, 'Mark sends dick pics to women', the filing said.
In response, Lamb told the Phoenix New Times that he was confused to see his name in the filing, saying 'I don't know how my name ended up in it.'
'But you’re in politics, people say nasty stuff about you all the time. Unfortunately, most of it is untruthful, if not 95% of it,' Lamb responded at the time, saying he found it 'weird they're over the4re talking about me.'
Among the images one woman alleged Lamb sent her was a close-up picture of a penis, with an offer to measure it, and another picture of a penis on his phone.
In another message, Lamb allegedly sent the woman a picture of a couple having sex, and telling her to 'think about that being you' alongside a devil emoji.
Another woman, a Colorado law enforcement officer, claimed she and Lamb met through his campaign's social media accounts and made plans for a sexual tryst after speaking online.
He allegedly told her, 'I am totally okay with excessively flirty. Hahahah!! ... You never have to worry about offending me', according to the reported screenshots.
The Republic said it obtained troves of Lamb's private correspondence from a former campaign staffer and three women in his past, 'each with a different reason for coming forward.'
Lamb and his wife have repeatedly denied allegations that they are swingers, and in an interview earlier this year with the Phoenix New Times, he insisted he is with 'one woman', his wife.

He allegedly carried out affairs and online sexual relationships with multiple women at the same time, with former Colorado corrections officer Cassie Hartbauer claiming that she was one of three of his online lovers at once.
While sheriff, Lamb allegedly pushed for criminal charges to be filed against Peacock and Stannard for social media posts outing his private antics.
Former Pinal County Attorney Kent Volkmer alleged that Lamb told the County Attorney's Office to 'explore' charges against the two women, but said no charges were brought after a 'cursory' investigation.
Peacock claimed to have been in an affair with Lamb for years, going as far as to get a tattoo of his sheriff's badge on her body.
Their messages allegedly bordered on the obsessive, with the pair often exchanging topless selfies and raunchy messages. If she did not immediately respond, Lamb would respond anxiously 'are you still alive??', reported screenshots showed.
The Arizona woman - who died in a 2021 car crash - alleged that she was hit with several investigations in retaliation for coming forward about Lamb, including a domestic violence call where her son said she threw a brick at him.
Volkmer said she had 'zero credibility', and said her bizarre behavior undercut her allegations that Lamb threatened her with revenge porn charges.
Another woman, Yvonne Belloc, also publicly accused Lamb of wrongdoing, alleging that he sided with the father of her children in a bitter custody dispute.
Her ire at Lamb led her to begin airing out allegations from Stannard and Peacock on social media, going on to share troves of alleged messages and pictures in the report.
With Trump's endorsement, Lamb is the presumptive nominee for Arizona's 5th Congressional District, a deep red House seat that he would be expected to easily win if nominated.
But allegations swirling around his private life have threatened to hurt his campaign, and knocked his standing with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which investigated him and his wife in 2018.
