Under the new law, which passed overwhelmingly in the state legislature, both the “nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images” and “threatening the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images” are felonies. The bill was one of 77 that Greitens signed on his last day.
“And he used some sort of tape, I don’t what it was, and taped my hands to these rings and then put a blindfold on me,” she said in a recording aired by KMOV, recalling that Greitens told her that “‘you’re never going to mention my name,’ otherwise there will be pictures of me (the woman) everywhere.”
In the recorded conversation, the woman said Greitens apologized to her afterward and told her he had deleted the picture, KMOV reported.
Although the felony charge was dropped, Greitens could still face criminal charges. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker was named special prosecutor in the case on May 21, and reaffirmed that the investigation would continue regardless of the governor’s resignation.
“In the interest of pursing justice to its fullest lengths, we will continue until our work on the case is completed,” she said in a statement Tuesday. “Specifically regarding any deals we made with Governor Greitens’ attorneys, no deals were made by my office. Our review of this case, as I have stated before, will be pursued without fear or favor.”
