Missouri Gov. Greitens accused of violence, sexual assault, blackmail will resign Missouri Gov. Greitens resigning amid sexual misconduct scandal. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/29/missouri-gov-greitens-accused-violence-sexual-assault-blackmail-what-to-know.html When the two got to the basement, the woman alleged, Greitens taped her hands to the pull-up rings and blindfolded her. She said the items he used were already on a workout bench nearby. He then spit water into her mouth, telling her she needed to be hydrated, she testified. She said it was his way of trying to kiss her, but she did not want to be kissed. Greitens began to kiss her, and he tore off the white shirt, she testified. During this time, he was also “pull[ing] down [her] pants,” but she did not give consent, she said. “[T]hen I hear him kind of, like, step back – take a step back and I hear – I can hear like a, like a cell phone – like a picture, and I can see a flash through the blindfold,” she added. Greitens said: “You’re not going to mention my name. Don’t even mention my name to anybody at all, because if you do, I’m going to take these pictures, and I’m going to put them everywhere I can. They are going to be everywhere, and then everyone will know what a little whore you are,” she testified. She alleged he spanked her after she didn’t respond. “I was definitely fearful. I was so embarrassed and ashamed, because I really felt like a whore because I had let him get me in this position before we’ve even kissed. I felt really used,” she said. A photo has not been obtained by lawmakers on the committee nor by the prosecutor in the criminal case. The aftermath As she was trying to leave, Greitens gave her a hug and laid her on the floor while she wept, the woman testified. On the floor, the woman testified, she performed oral sex on Greitens because she “felt that she had no other choice if she were going to get out of the basement,” according to the report. She said Greitens didn’t prevent her from leaving after that, but she forgot her keys at the house. When she went back to get them, she said she confronted Greitens about the picture. “You have to understand, I’m running for office, and people will get me and I have to have some sort of thing to protect myself,” she claimed he told her. The woman testified that Greitens told her he had deleted the photo, but that she didn’t believe him.   How has Greitens responded? Greitens has called the accusations a “political witch hunt.”
