Kintner won't resign from Legislature, says ‘I think I’m where I should be’ after being fined for cybersex

LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts and other top state officials on Friday called on State Sen. Bill Kintner to resign after he acknowledged caving to temptation and engaging in cybersex with a woman he met online.

Kintner said that he has asked for forgiveness from God and his wife, but he questioned why he would owe an apology to members of the Legislature.

“What standard are all 49 senators held to that I violated and embarrassed this institution?” he said. “I would love to know.”

Kintner will pay a $1,000 fine for misuse of public resources for using a state computer to engage in cybersex. The fine, announced Friday, was part of a settlement with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission.
