Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, was indicted and booked Thursday on a felony invasion of privacy charge for allegedly taking and transmitting a non-consensual photo of his semi-nude lover shortly before that campaign started.
A scandal which broke last month, Greitens was accused of threatening his lover with the photo — an allegation that isn’t mentioned in the indictment. Greitens admitted having an extramarital affair, but denied the rest.
STL Officials confirmed Greitens had been taken into custody and then booked at the St. Louis Justice Center.
Judge Rex. M Burlison allowed Greitens’ release on a personal recognizance bond; the terms permit him to travel freely throughout the United States. Greitens was scheduled to travel to Washington this weekend for an annual meeting of the nation’s governors.
Court records indicate Greitens is due back in court on March 16.
