Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D) and his wife, Cerina, were found dead by police in their home early Thursday morning in an apparent murder-suicide, the Washington Post reports.
In 2019, Fairfax faced sexual assault allegations dating to 2000 and 2004.
He denied the accusations and ran in the Democratic primary for governor in 2021, coming in fourth.
