Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens Indicted on Felony Invasion of Privacy Charge

St. Louis Public Radio

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens was indicted today by a Saint Louis Grand Jury for felony invasion of privacy.

Earlier this year Greitens admitted to a 2015 affair. He denied accusations of blackmail after the woman’s then-husband alleged Greitens snapped a photo of her in a state of undress.

The indictment reads that Greitens photographed a person referred to by only by their initials in “a place where a person would have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the defendant subsequently transmitted the image contained in the photograph in a manner that allowed access to that image via a computer."

This story will be updated as the situation develops.
