Governor Eric Greitens on Wednesday night confirmed to News 4 he had an extramarital affair, an admission a months-long News 4 investigation prompted.

In a recording obtained by News 4, a woman says she had a sexual encounter with Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and that he tried to blackmail her to keep the encounter quiet.

The details were provided to News 4 by the womans ex-husband, claiming the sexual relationship happened between his now ex-wife and Greitens in March 2015. News 4 is not naming the woman and she has not made an on-the-record comment about the story.

According to the ex-husband, the recording was made just days after Greitens and the womans first sexual encounter. And also that Greitens took a photograph during the encounter to use as blackmail according to the ex-husband.

During his campaign and while serving in his first year in office as Missouris Governor, Eric Greitens has billed himself a family man. During his campaign announcement, he stated: I'm Eric Greitens, I'm a Navy SEAL, native Missourian and most importantly, a proud husband and father."

A contrast to the acts the woman accuses Greitens of committing on tape saying his actions were horrible and disgusting.

The ex-husband provided details to News 4 of what he claims was a sexual encounter between his now-ex-wife and Greitens back in March of 2015. News 4 has spoken to the woman's attorney who has stated: No Comment.

His now ex-wife wife didn't know he was recording their conversation as she confessed intimate details to him.

Meh. He was a Fake Republican. Now he can get replaced with a real one.

So he lied about being a family man, did he lie about being a SEAL?

According to the Post, a local TV station played audio allegedly recorded by the womans ex-husband in which she discussed going to Greitens's house in 2015 where she said she was bound to a piece of exercise equipment and he blindfolded her.

She added that he then took photos without her consent.

Youre never going to mention my name, otherwise this picture will be everywhere, Greitens told the woman, she claims on the audio, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Wow, that's rare.

Someone being ruined over cheating on their wife rather than a sexual assault / rape accusation.

More Republicans standing up for family values, yet again. Glad to know family values are the true virtue of Republicanism.

Greitens is super shady,. He's already plead guilty to ethics violations, he's hostile to the press, and has been destroying government records while in office. This is not surprising in the least.

In it, she can be heard telling how Greitens invited her to his home in 2015. Once she arrived, he told her he would show her how to do pull-ups, taped her hands to exercise rings and blindfolded her, all with her consent.

Then, to her shock, she alleged, he snapped photographs of her naked and threatened to distribute the pictures if she revealed the relationship.
