Political career

Saban has alleged that he was a victim of his political rival, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.[3] During Saban's 2004 run for sheriff, Arpaio opened a criminal investigation into a 30-year-old allegation that Saban, then 17, had raped his adoptive mother.[4] Saban lost the election and sued for defamation and lost but cost the county $800,000 in legal fees.[5][6]

Saban was endorsed by The Arizona Republic and the Phoenix New Times when he ran in 2008.[7][8]
