Court filings reveal Kyrsten Sinema had sex multiple times with married bodyguard while serving as senator - Fox News

Former U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema reportedly had multiple sexual encounters with her married security guard while serving in office, according to federal court filings. Matthew Ammel's ex-wife, Heather Ammel, has filed a lawsuit against Sinema, who served as a Democrat before becoming an independent representing Arizona. The lawsuit, filed under North Carolina's "alienation of affection" law, claims Sinema caused the dissolution of their 14-year marriage. This high-profile national story is drawing attention even here in Lubbock, sparking conversations from Tech Terrace coffee shops to family dinners out near the South Plains Mall.

For people here, this isn't about local zoning changes or the next Texas Tech football schedule. Instead, it offers a direct look at the personal complexities and legal repercussions faced by public servants, even those serving thousands of miles away. It highlights the unique legal avenues some states, like North Carolina, offer for marital interference, a concept less common in Texas law. This case also reminds us how quickly national political narratives can shift, impacting perceptions of public trust in elected officials across the country.

Sinemas legal team tried to dismiss the case, arguing the relationship happened outside North Carolina, yet the unusual "alienation of affection" lawsuit continues to unfold in federal court.
