Story out of Nebraska:
Gov. Pete Ricketts has urged state Sen. Bill Kintner of Papillion to resign if allegations are proven true that Kintner exchanged sexually explicit video of himself using his state computer.
A source familiar with the situation said Kintner told investigators about the video when he asked the Nebraska State Patrol for help with computer problems in July 2015.
Investigators haven't described the video or said whether a permanent copy or other evidence was ever obtained.
But another senator said he contacted the State Patrol last fall after a woman offered to sell what she called a sexually explicit video of Kintner.
Omaha Sen. Bob Krist said he informed Ricketts' chief of staff, Matt Miltenberger, around the same time that a sexually explicit video involving Kintner had been brought to senators' attention.
Kintner, 55, has been married for about seven years to Lauren Kintner, the governor's chief policy adviser.
Considered one of the Legislature's most conservative senators, Bill Kintner once told the Journal Star that his parents "taught me the moral absolutes of Christianity, and I just applied those to everything."
The senator has drawn criticism from colleagues and observers outside the Legislature for his controversial statements and perceived lack of decorum since he took office. Speaker Galen Hadley chastised him in February for likening fellow senators to monkeys in his regular column published by the Plattsmouth Journal. Cont.
