Only in Missouri: Male stripper convicted of filming sex partners seeks pardon from Greitens

This could only happen in Missouri.

The Kansas City Star reports that a former male stripper, Paul Henreid, convicted two decades ago of invasion of privacy for secretly filming his sex partners is seeking a pardon from Gov. Eric Greitens.

Greitens, of course, was indicted by a St. Louis grand jury last week for felony invasion of privacy for allegedly taking a photo of a nude, bound woman and threatening to use it for blackmail purposes if she ever said anything about their relationship.

The man's lawyer, Albert Watkins, said it would be hypocritical for the governor not to grant the pardon. Watkins is also the lawyer for the ex-husband of the woman with whom Greitens has admitted to having the affair. Greitens has denied the blackmail allegations.

The Star article said Henreid received 30 days of shock time for his offense.
