Salacious posts that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson purportedly made on a pornography website have been deleted in the 24 hours since CNN first drew attention to them.

The posts in question, which Robinson denied were his and had previously appeared on on the “Nude Africa” pornographic website, have been removed. POLITICO confirmed the posts’ removal after reviewing message board threads on the website that previously featured comments from a username Robinson has used on other platforms.

A profile page for the account in question remains on the website, and “mark robinson” is listed as the account holder’s name.

    It’s unclear why the posts were deleted after the CNN story published.

        I think their point was just that he has control of the account. Whether that’s because he knew the password, or used a forgot password link doesn’t really matter, he would have to control the email for that account to reset the password.

    Makes sense. Just curious if it was robinson or Nude Africa who nuked the posts. Because I am sure plenty of users did not want to experience the scrutiny of people looking for more dookie chute posts by a politician.

    How the fuck is he supposed to prove he didn’t make those posts?

      He isn’t because he obviously did. If someone had maliciously created an account on a porn site registered to his full name and using a screenname he also used on other websites over ten years ago, then posted his own political views and declared his love of transgender porn, all in order to smear his name, I very much doubt that they’d sit on that for ten years.

        I’m not questioning his guilt, I’m questioning how someone possibly proves they didn’t make a post.

          I think the easiest way to prove he didn’t is to prove someone else did. I don’t think he will be able to do that easily, particularly because I think he made those posts.
