Gov. Eric Greitens of Missouri Indicted for Invasion of Privacy
|
[NYTimes] Gov. Eric Greitens of Missouri was indicted on a felony invasion of privacy charge on Thursday by grand jurors in St. Louis.
Mr. Greitens, a first-term Republican, photographed a nude or partially nude person without the person’s knowledge or consent in 2015
Switched party in 2015 from the Dems. Doubt the MSM will talk much of that historical bit.
according to charging documents released by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office. The indictment said Mr. Greitens then transmitted the photo in a way that allowed it to be seen on a computer, which prosecutors said made the crime a felony rather than a misdemeanor.
The indictment comes weeks after Mr. Greitens acknowledged having an extramarital affair in 2015, before he took office, but denied claims that he blackmailed a woman or took a nude photo of her without permission. Mr. Greitens has resisted calls to resign, insisting that he had done nothing illegal and had recently toured the state touting his tax cut plans.
A spokesman for Mr. Greitens, Parker Briden, did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment on the indictment. City officials said that the governor was booked into the city jail on Thursday, and was released on his own recognizance. Mr. Greitens is permitted to travel throughout the United States as a provision of his release, court records show. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 16.
Kimberly M. Gardner, the St. Louis prosecutor, said the statute of limitations for charges to be filed would have expired next month.
