  • Tax Evasion

  • Bribery

  • Sexual Assault

  • Perjury

Answer

Sexual assault allegations led to Eric Greitens' resignation as governor of Missouri in June 2018. A hairdresser accused Greitens of coercing her into oral sex and taking a compromising photo in 2015, before he was elected. Though he denied the allegations, Greitens faced mounting legal pressure, a legislative investigation, and calls for his resignation. To avoid impeachment, he stepped down on June 1, 2018.
