密蘇里州州長被控侵犯隱私被逮捕提審

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens has been indicted by a St. Louis grand jury on a felony charge of invasion of privacy.

The charge stems from a 2015 affair and allegations that he threatened to release a nude photograph of the woman, taken while she was blindfolded and her hands were bound, if she ever spoke publicly about the affair.

Greitens denied he resorted to blackmail, but admitted to an affair with his hairdresser after it was made public by a St. Louis television station last month, prompting St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner to launch an investigation.

The indictment accuses Greitens of not only knowingly photographing the woman, but also transmitting the image “in a manner that allowed access to that image via a computer.”

The penalty for first-degree invasion of privacy in Missouri is up to four years in prison.

Greitens' office confirmed the governor was arrested and arraigned Thursday in St. Louis. He was later released on his own recognizance.美國密蘇里州州長格雷滕斯（Eric Greitens）被聖路易斯市大陪審團指控犯有侵犯隱私罪。

這項指控有關格雷滕斯2015年的一段婚外情，他被指以公開這名女性雙眼被蒙、雙手被綁的裸照相威脅，不許她公開談論這段婚外情。

一家聖路易斯市的電視臺上個月披露了格雷滕斯的婚外情和威脅。格雷滕斯否認有勒索行爲，但是承認與這位曾是他理髮師的女性有染。消息披露後聖路易斯市巡迴檢察官加德納開始進行調查。

起訴書說，格雷滕斯不僅蓄意對這名女性拍照，而且還發送照片，讓他人可以通過電腦看到。

在密蘇里州，一級侵犯隱私罪可以被判處最多4年監禁。

格雷滕斯的州長辦公室證實，格雷滕斯州長星期四被逮捕並被提審。他後來繳納保證金後獲釋。
