In a lengthy, graphic report released Wednesday, a woman accused Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens of forcing her into a non-consensual sexual encounter while she wept uncontrollably with her hands bound and eyes blindfolded.
The Republican governor was arrested in February and charged with taking nude photographs of the woman without her consent during an extramarital affair in 2015. Since then, a bipartisan group of lawmakers has been investigating Greitens. The investigative committee of the Missouri House has concluded that the woman's testimony is credible.
The woman, his former hair stylist, testified that she and the governor had several sexual encounters over a few months. While some were consensual, others were not and, on several occasions, Greitens became violent and struck her, she said.
Greitens admitted to the affair, but has denied all allegations of abuse and blackmail. He also, according to the report, declined to testify and "failed to respond to the Committee's request for production of documents and sworn answers to written interrogatories."
This is a developing story. Check back later for additional information.
