The wife of Minnesota Republican state senator Justin Eichorn has filed for divorce days after he was arrested in an underage sex sting.
Brittany Eichorn, who shares four children with Eichorn, 40, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage on Monday following the devastating allegations, Northern News Now reported.
Eichorn remains in custody after police in Bloomington arrested him when he allegedly arranged to meet up for sex with someone he thought was a 17-year-old girl.
Eichorn resigned from the Senate on Thursday. His planned conditional release was revoked on Monday after prosecutors slapped the disgraced senator with further allegations.
He is accused of arranging with a Grand Rapids woman to retrieve a computer and other items from an apartment in St. Paul where he lived alone during legislative sessions ahead of an FBI raid.
During a search of the apartment on March 21, prosecutors say FBI agents found a handgun and ammunition in a red bag, according to court documents.
