So Where Is That Photo Gov. Eric Greitens Allegedly Took?
St. Louis prosecutors, a local grand jury, and a GOP-controlled Missouri House committee have all expressed confidence that Gov. Eric Greitens tied his former lover up in his basement and took a nude photo of her to ensure her silence about their affair. But proving that this happened will not be so easy in a court of law.
The biggest obstacle for the prosecution is that no one has ever seen the photo Greitens allegedly took.
To convict Greitens for a felony invasion of privacy under Missouri State Statute 565.252, prosecutors will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Greitens captured the photo on his smartphone with the intent to transmit it.
Because they don’t have an actual copy of the photo, the prosecution’s case rests on the circumstantial evidence in the woman’s account and on corroborating testimony from her ex-husband and friend. The woman will testify that she saw a flash through the blindfold Greitens tied across her eyes and heard the sound of an iPhone camera shutter click.
