On Families & Children: Greitens was never "exonerated" of sexual misconduct

To recap: Greitens is accused of sexual assault and blackmail, and a recording of his victim speaking about the abuse is the basis for a local news investigation. A jury finds the evidence solid enough to indict him. An investigator flubs a deposition, and the prosecutor is forced to pull back. The criminal cases against Greitens may have gone away, but he was hardly "exonerated." Around the same time, the Missouri legislature launched dual investigations of Greitens--one based on [the sexual allegations] and the other for unrelated claims of campaign finance violations. Greitens stepped down.
