Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) was indicted on a felony invasion of privacy charge, the Kansas City Star reports.
“The charges stem from a 2015 affair and allegations that he threatened to release a nude photograph of the woman, taken while she was blindfolded and her hands were bound, if she ever spoke publicly about the affair.”
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch confirmed Greitens was taken into custody and then booked at the St. Louis Justice Center.
