Legislature finds credible allegations of forced sex by Missouri governor

MISSOURI
The Hill

BY REID WILSON

A woman with whom Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) admitted to having an affair has told state legislators the former Navy SEAL forced her into multiple sexual encounters in the year before he ran for public office, according to a report issued by legislative leaders.

The 24-page report, based on hundreds of pages of interview transcript also made public on Wednesday, details allegations the woman made against Greitens — allegations the legislators who heard testimony from multiple witnesses found credible.

Greitens is a Republican. The committee that compiled the report was made up of seven members, five of whom are Republicans.

Greitens, in response, on Wednesday seized on one element of the woman’s testimony — in which she said she had not seen a photograph she alleges Greitens took of her — to attempt to discredit the entire report.
