A local resident, Taylor Snider, has come forward with allegations about a high-profile individual. She claims to have been paid for sex work by a man she believes was Lindsey Graham, a former South Carolina Senator, in 2015. At the time, Snider was a sex worker with experience dealing with high-profile clients.

The alleged encounter took place on June 7, 2015, at the Washington Hilton. Further details about the allegations are available from the source, Them, which collaborated with The Advocate on the story.
