During one encounter in the summer of 2015, the woman testified, Greitens struck her and shoved her to the ground as they became intimate in his Central West End home.
“And I instantly just started bawling and was just like, ‘What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you?'” she told the committee. “And I just laid there crying while he was just like … ‘You’re fine, you’re fine.'”…
The invasion-of-privacy criminal charge, which is a separate process, followed the revelation in the media in January that Greitens had engaged in an extramarital affair in 2015. Greitens at that time admitted to the affair but denied allegations that he took a nonconsensual photograph of the woman and threatened to release it if she ever spoke of their affair.
While she was bound and blindfolded during that encounter, she told the committee, Greitens ripped open the t-shirt he’d had her put on and pulled down her pants. She said she then heard noise of a cellphone, “like a picture, and I can see the flash through the blindfold.”
