US governor Eric Greitens’ affair with hairdresser revealed in graphic detail as he faces charges over nude photo
Graphic report details multiple instances in which a woman said Governor Eric Greitens spanked, slapped, grabbed, shoved and called her derogatory names during a series of sexual encounters as he was preparing to run for office in 2015
A woman who had an extramarital affair with the governor of the US state of Missouri claimed he spanked, slapped, grabbed and shoved her during a series of sexual encounters that at times left her crying and afraid, according to an explosive report.
The report was the result of an investigation by a bipartisan committee of the state’s legislature into allegations that Republican Governor Eric Greitens blackmailed his former mistress with a photograph of her in a state of undress.
Greitens has been criminally charged with invasion of privacy and is expected to stand trial in May.
The committee report – which detailed allegations of behaviour that was at times abusive and coercive – could be a precursor to impeachment and was separate from the criminal case.
Soon before the report’s release, the governor shot back that the committee’s findings were “full of more false, outlandish and salacious accusations”.
“Over three years ago, I made a personal mistake,” the governor said at a news conference.
