The Daily Beast reports:

A Department of Homeland Security deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism has been accused of picking up men on a sugar daddy website.

Julia Varvaro, 29, allegedly had a profile on Seeking.com, a site that is often used by young, attractive singles looking for older, wealthier partners to help fund their luxury lifestyles, according to the Daily Mail.

The profile, which was under the name “Alessia,” said its owner worked for a government agency and offered “seductive sophistication.”

It used the same photo as Varvaro’s Instagram account and described Alessia as “flirty, fun, and fond of sultry spaces,” as well as “drawn to a masculine man who’s attentive, protective, and quietly playful for mutually beneficial experiences.”

The profile was revealed by Varvaro’s ex-boyfriend, an older executive and divorced father identified by the Daily Mail as Robert B.

The two met on a different dating app, Hinge, and he spent $40,000 on her over the course of three months, including first-class trips to Aruba and Italy.

The relationship ended after Robert refused to spend even more on her, according to text messages he shared with the publication. He has since filed a complaint with DHS’s Office of the Inspector General exposing the alleged Seeking.com profile.

The complaint warned that Varvaro—whose social media profiles feature photos with President Donald Trump and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem—was under financial stress, and alleged that her actions “pose a security risk.” [Continue reading…]
