Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey said Monday he and his wife and a male aide engaged in sexual threesomes, contradicting a denial issued hours earlier by his estranged wife.
In an e-mail to The Associated Press, the nation's first openly gay governor said published reports by former campaign aide Teddy Pedersen were true.
In interviews posted online Sunday night by The Star-Ledger of Newark and the New York Post, Pedersen said he had consensual sex with the couple for about two years before McGreevey became governor. He said he had contact only with Dina Matos McGreevey during the trysts, and wasn't sure whether McGreevey was gay.
In his statement, McGreevey said he and his estranged wife need to move forward for the sake of their 6-year-old daughter.
"This happened, this happened in the past, and now we need to move on with our lives," McGreevey, 50, said without being specific.
His e-mail to The Associated Press came shortly after one from Matos McGreevey. She said Pedersen's claims of consensual three-way sex "are completely false and were prompted by Jim McGreevey."
"Jim has had a close relationship with Pedersen since his days as mayor of Woodbridge, and arranged jobs for Pedersen from that time through his years as governor and beyond," said Matos McGreevey, 41. "They have continued their close relationship since Jim left office. This was obviously payback time for Pedersen."
The McGreeveys are in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. She accuses him of hiding his homosexuality before and during their marriage and has sued for damages. He has said she should have known he was gay.
Pedersen, 29, told the newspapers the threesomes went on for about two years during the McGreeveys' courtship and into their marriage. He said the trysts ended when McGreevey was elected governor in 2001.
Pedersen said he came forward because he was angry that Matos McGreevey was offering television commentary on the resignation of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who stepped down last week amid a call-girl scandal. During her commentary, Matos McGreevey said she was blindsided when her husband announced his homosexuality.
McGreevey resigned in 2004 after acknowledging an affair with a male staffer who he said was trying to blackmail him. The ex-staffer said he was sexually harassed by the Democratic governor.
The McGreeveys separated shortly after McGreevey's nationally televised speech in which he declared himself "a gay American."

See all 202 CommentsIf you vote for Demopublican garbage--YOU ARE DEMOPUBLICAN GARBAGE!!
Im thinking to be honest, this has gone down the toilet and they need to just quit covering this group of people for the public''s sake.
Very serious reasons to doubt the veracity or lure of multiple partners, and nonissue of non monogamous sexxxx.

Unfortunately, due to condom slippage or failure to use and other factors STDs and potentially incurable STDs (like HIV, and some gonnorhea and syphillis) become the new and quite likely issue. What a tradeoff for a partner not keeping it exclusive.
I find it funny how everyone is coming out about their sexul relations.... Who gives a rats A$$!

Nobody should give a ratz a$$ but guess what?
It is on the front page of every major newspaper.
Religious fanatics are obsessed with it.
Nobody cares but everyone must know because they make it their business to know.
Sadly, religion and politics makes this krap important.

Who gives a rat''s azz? Why... It looks like a lot of our public officials do--and they give up their spouse''s azz to boot. Everybody is bootie up, it seems.
Now, all we need is for McCain, Obama and Hilary and their spouses* to finally admit to all of their trysts over the years....* Hilary''s spouse does not have to do this--we already have an inside look into the sexual addiction problems of Bill. ''nuff said. LOL

Most people are fearful of what you wrote because it is so much truth in it.
Nothing is hidden from "THE government" anymore.
