Governor Eric Greitens of the US state of Missouri has been indicted amid looming allegations of sexual misconduct and blackmail following an admission of an affair last month.

The Republican was charged in St. Louis on Thursday with a first-degree felony invasion of privacy, according to the Missouri court system.

The chargesheet alleged that Greitens took a picture of the woman in "full or partial nudity" without her knowledge or consent. It further alleged that he transmitted the image "in a manner that allowed access to that image via a computer".

"As I have said before, I made a personal mistake before I was Governor. I did not commit a crime."
