JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) The Missouri Supreme Court says a woman who had an extramarital affair with Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens must turn over her cellphone for a forensic investigation.
The Kansas City Star reported Saturday that the high courts decision follows the womans request Friday to block an order requiring her phone to be examined by a court-appointed expert.
The order came in a criminal case in which Greitens is accused of taking a photo of the woman in a compromising position without her consent. The Republican governor is charged with invasion of privacy.
