On August 5, 2016, Senator Kintner agreed to pay a $1,000 fine for misusing his state issued computer to engage in cybersex. The Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission released a report on the investigation which detailed emails and messages between Kintner and a woman from July 2015. After engaging in cybersex, the women tried to extort $4,500 from him by threatening to release video evidence of the event. Kintner contacted the Nebraska State Patrol about the extortion and confessed to his wife about the incident. Gov. Pete Ricketts (R), Senate President Galen Hadley (R), and Executive Board Chair Bob Krist (R) all called for Kintner’s resignation. Kintner refused to resign until January 30, 2017.
