MO Gov had affair - did he also blackmail?

"Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and his wife, Sheena Greitens, issued an extraordinary statement late Wednesday acknowledging that he had an extramarital affair in the past (2015) and that the couple “has dealt with this together honestly and privately.”

The Post-Dispatch also has possession of the audio and has interviewed the ex-husband. The newspaper had previously decided against writing a story based solely on the husband and the audio recording, because the woman in question has consistently declined to be interviewed. However, Greitens’ public acknowledgment of an affair made it necessary to revisit that decision.

“You’re never going to mention my name, otherwise this picture will be everywhere,” Greitens told the woman, she claims on the audio. She is heard telling her then-husband that the statement came after he took a photo while she was bound, blindfolded and partly undressed during a sexual encounter at Greitens’ St. Louis home in March 2015. That was about a month after his first public statements confirming he was considering a political run....

That part of the encounter was consensual, she indicates in the audio, but the alleged taking of the photograph wasn’t. She said in the audio that she wasn’t aware he was doing it until she saw a flash of light through the blindfold, followed by his alleged verbal threat.

As the Post-Dispatch has previously reported, he was reserving website names with variations of “Greitens for President” years before his first political campaign, for governor, in 2016."

No big whoop.  After Trump, this guy will still run - and maybe win.  Pussy-grabbing w/o consent, taking pictures w/o consent and using them as blackmail items, what's the difference?!?!?
