| Description | CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - Former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford admitted on Wednesday to trespassing on his ex-wife's property but avoided punishment for contempt as part of a court agreement reached a day after the Republican punched his ticket back to Congress.
Sanford, whose win on Tuesday in a special election for a U.S. House seat revived a political career wrecked by an affair while he was governor, also agreed to pay ex-wife Jenny Sanford's $5,000 in attorney's fees and costs.
Mark Sanford and Jenny Sanford had been due to appear in court on Thursday for a hearing about the trespassing allegation.
Jenny Sanford said she found her former husband leaving her home through a back door on February 3 using his phone as a flashlight. Mark Sanford said he went there to watched the Super Bowl with one of the couple's four sons. |
