JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – A legislative report says a woman with whom Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens acknowledged having a consensual affair told prosecutors he coaxed her into unwanted sexual activity as she was crying “like a wounded little animal on the ground.”
The brief, graphic report from a special House investigatory committee was
released Monday and accuses Greitens of mischaracterizing the woman’s testimony.
The report is intended as a rebuttal to Greitens, who had asserted that the
video interview of the woman “undermined the narrative” of an earlier House
report detailing the woman’s allegations that he had been physically aggressive
toward her.
The latest report highlights the escalating tension between the first-term
Republican governor and the GOP-led Legislature, which is weighing whether to
initiate impeachment proceedings to try to remove Greitens from office.
