Gov. Eric Greitens' one-time mistress told lawmakers that Greitens, in some of their encounters, slapped her, shoved her and touched her without her consent.
The disclosure came in a House Special Investigative Committee's report, released Wednesday by five Republicans and two Democrats who said they found the woman a credible witness. They also interviewed two confidants of the woman and her ex-husband.
Following the release of the report, House Speaker Todd Richardson said a special session would be called to consider impeachment of the governor. In a press conference, state Democrats called on Greitens to resign.
The woman testified that during a March 20, 2015, visit to Greitens' Central West End home, Greitens convinced her to go to the basement for "some sort of sexy workout." She said Greitens tied her up and blindfolded her, and that she became uncomfortable after Greitens pulled down her pants and kissed her stomach.
"(T)hen I hear him kind of, like, step back – take a step back and I hear – I can hear like a, like a cell phone – like a picture, and I can see a flash through the blindfold," she said, adding that she's not sure whether she ever saw a cell phone on Greitens' person.
According to her account, Greitens then told the woman that, "You're not going to mention my name... because if you do, I'm going to take these pictures, and I'm going to put them everywhere I can."
The woman said when she tried to leave, Greitens grabbed her in a "bear hug" and laid her on the floor. Then he fondled her, and coerced her into a sex act, the woman said. The woman said she returned later in the day to Greitens' home to retrieve keys, and that Greitens told her that he erased the photo because he "felt bad."
Greitens has been charged with felony invasion of privacy related to that incident. A jury trial in St. Louis Circuit Court is scheduled for next month. He has denied blackmailing the woman.
During another encounter, in June 2015, the woman said Greitens slapped her after she told him that she had slept with her husband.
Weeks later, the woman said Greitens "kind of smacked me and grabbed me and shoved me down on the ground" after engaging in a sex act.
Earlier in their relationship, at a salon where the woman worked, Greitens moved his hand up her leg and "all the way up to her crotch" without her consent, the woman testified.
Porn report.
She wants money and attention, she sees all the attention stormy is getting and wants some too. She was his MISTRESS, now she’s not, that is reason enough to complain and accuse him of unwanted touching, etc.
Notice see isn’t accusing her of raping her..........YET.
democrats are probably trying to get here to say that Trump was there too.

He admitted the “one time affair” with the hair dresser in St. Louis. He hasn’t admitted to the gory details and multiple contacts described by the woman.
Greitens has questioned where the details came from—her ex-husband, a dream or someone else in the St. Louis Democrat fraternity.
If the woman’s claims are believed, then the governor is toast.
As of today, the smear, if that’s what it is, is successful.
Gee, they have a paid demrat witness. What else will she say and why is she saying it. Where are these mysterious pictures?
He did switch parties but so did Trump. He was a SEAL, which means he does have more honor and guts than most people. Where are the witnesses or the pictures?
You need consent to touch a mistress?
Exactly. She is Russian too.
I wonder if it’s possible for a Republican politician to get a fair trial in St. Louis...
“”
This is the new way for the demrats to win elections. If there is a trail in StLouis, hopefully not more than 10’africans will be selected for jury duty. If so, he won’t get a fair trial.
Trump switched parties. Reagan switched parties. Greitens has been a good governor, a former SEAL, and is governing with a conservative hand.
Why is the hooker’s ex-husband running the accusation ?””
Money, much money from the demrat war chest.
What is your take on President Trump?
There seems to be numerous inconsistencies in the hair dresser’s claim.
Why would she double down on slapping, choking etc ?
What is the ex-husband’s role in pushing this story ?
Fair trial in St. Louis ?
Good luck with that.
Trump as a developer is a known quantity, cut throat and sleazy. As such, he hasn’t tried to be what he wasn’t. Things from his personal past were a given, but I didn’t see him as criminal and still don’t. I think he has done a terrific job his first year.
The seriousness of the allegations outweigh proof of innocence.

Yes, Bill Clinton said the same. Ha
I thought it was Dan Rather on the Bush II National Guard memo that Buckhead exposed?
If he were “double agent” why wouldn’t he just have thrown the election to the rat? Or governed like a rat? By most reports he’s been governing well.
No, I think he’s just a jerk.
Or innocent and being “set up”, but more likely not.
Well, you missed out on the last African staging for a looting opportunity in St Louis when Grietens called up law enforcement and the national guard to stop the pack of thieving bastards in their tracks. They arrested several dozen and that ended it. Not one pair of red, purple, or gold basketball shoes was stolen.
