Missouri Governor Eric Greitens has been indicted on one count of invasion of privacy related to the January report that Greitens had an affair with his former hairdresser.The charges state Greitens "knowingly photographed" a woman "in a state of full or partial nudity without knowledge and consent."Greitens is also accused of sending that image "in a matter that allowed access to that image via a computer."The transmission of that photo is what elevates the invasion of privacy charge from a misdemeanor to a felony. A statement issued by City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly M. Gardner outlines this charge."Today, a City of St. Louis Grand Jury indicted Missouri Governor Eric Greitens on a Felony Invasion of Privacy charge for an incident that took place on March 21, 2015 in the City of St. Louis," wrote Gardner."Under Missouri law, the Grand Jury has found probable cause to believe that Governor Greitens violated Missouri State Statute 565.252...This statute has a provision for both a felony and misdemeanor. The law makes it a felony if a person transmits the image contained in the photograph or film in a manner that allows access to that image via a computer." "As I have stated before, it is essential for residents of the City of St. Louis and our state to have confidence in their leaders. They must know that the Office of the Circuit Attorney will hold public officials accountable in the same manner as any other resident of our city. Both parties and the people of St. Louis deserve a thorough investigation of these allegations."Gardner went on to say that while her office is committed to being as transparent as possible with regard to this case, she is limited in what she can discuss due to the nature of the ongoing investigation. Greitens was booked at a St. Louis jail Thursday before being released on a personal recognizance bond.Gov. Greitens issued this statement:"As I have said before, I made a personal mistake before I was Governor. I did not commit a crime. With today’s disappointing and misguided political decision, my confidence in our prosecutorial system is shaken, but not broken. I know this will be righted soon. The people of Missouri deserve better than a reckless liberal prosecutor who uses her office to score political points. I look forward to the legal remedies to reverse this action. This will not for a moment deter me from doing the important work of the great people of Missouri."His attorney, Edward L. Dowd Jr. released this statement:“In forty years of public and private practice, I have never seen anything like this. The charges against my client are baseless and unfounded. My client is absolutely innocent. We will be filing a motion to dismiss.”Gov. Greitens admitted to the affair back in January. The incident referenced reportedly happened with his former hairdresser on March 21, 2015, before he was elected governor. The woman’s husband told a St. Louis television station that he secretly recorded conversations with his ex-wife about the affair with Greitens. In one of those conversations, the woman said Greitens took a compromising photo of her to use as blackmail if she spoke out about that relationship.
