The New York area suffered another stunning political sex scandal today – with a powerful state Governor accused of having regular three-in-a-bed sex sessions with his wife and male driver.
America is still reeling from the scandal that saw New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, one of the most powerful men in America, brought down by news of his sleazy sessions with a high-class hooker.
Now Jim McGreevey, until recently the Governor of neighboring New Jersey, has also been accused of a stunning secret sex life.
McGreeveys’ driver Teddy Pedersen insists he had such regular “hard-core consensual sex orgy” parties with the then-Governor and Governors’ wife Dina Matos McGreevey that they dubbed them ‘Friday Night specials’.
And he says it meant when the Governor and his wife traveled he would often end up just being booked into their same single room – even if other staff were nearby.
“He liked watching me, and she would watch me while she was [performing sex acts] with Jim,” Pedersen said. “In my opinion, me being a part of their sexual relationship enhanced it for both of them.”
McGreevey’s powerful political office was already destroyed by sex claims after declaring himself a “gay American” in 2004.
He resigned as governor after being accused of hiring a boyfriend, Golan Cipel, as his homeland-security adviser, with Cipel then saying he was sexually harassed.
As part of their bitter divorce, Dina has made a big play of how she was betrayed and lied to by her husband as he hid his sexuality, saying: “I would never allow a gay man to father my child.”
But Pedersen – who says he has already spilled the beans on the sessions under oath in a deposition for the couple’s divorce battle – insists she must have known he was gay because he was so excited having another man in bed. He says he finally decided to confess all after Dina sounded off to the media about Eliot Spitzer’s sex scandal.
“It’s frustrating to hear her call Gov. Spitzer a hypocrite while she’s out there being as dishonest as anyone could be about her own life,” said Pedersen, 29. “She’s framed herself as a victim – yet she was a willing participant.
“She had complete control over what happened in her relationship.
“She was there, she knew what was happening, she made the moves. We all did. “It’s disgusting to watch her play the victim card.”
Pedersen, who lives with his girlfriend of several years, added: “I would have kept my mouth shut about this forever, but she subpoenaed me, and now it’s all going to come out at trial.”
He says the trio’s trysts started after Pedersen was hired as a campaign driver for McGreevey. Pedersen said the threesome started as an “idea” he and McGreevey tossed around during the aide’s long hours behind the wheel for the politician.
“We developed a good relationship – we were colleagues, but we were friends,” Pedersen said. “There was a level of comfort that evolved into, eventually, hints of pushing it into this sexual realm.
“Jim and I thought we could see if she would go for it – beyond just the hints in conversation.
“So one night, we came in. I went down to the basement bathroom, and when I came up, to my shock, she was basically undressed and on the loveseat with Jim.
“So I sat on the couch and watched and eventually joined in.
“And that’s how it got going. We came up with this nice little formula for making it work.”
Sometimes, the trio took their show on the road, he said. On business trips – including to the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City – they shared one room, leaving others in the entourage baffled.
“It became almost laughable – I would never have my own hotel room,” Pedersen said. “Everyone thought that this was weird, but we’d just brush it off.”
The strange relationship continued even after the McGreeveys married in October 2000, Pedersen said. The Friday Night Special, he claimed, was replaced by a more subdued Saturday-morning routine.
“I’d go to the condo, and usually they’d still be in bed,” Pedersen said. “I’d sometimes go up, sit on the edge of the bed, rub Dina’s legs through the comforter and go from there.
“Saturdays were a lot more low-key. Things hit their peak before the marriage. “Afterward, there was this sort of soft landing, and it eventually tapered off and ended.”
Asked why it stopped, Pedersen said: “In my mind, I figured, ‘Dina’s married. She doesn’t have to play into it anymore.’
“She sealed the deal, she got what she wanted, the nice life, the governor’s mansion, and she would do everything in her power to keep it.”
Neither Dina nor Jim McGreevey returned calls for comment. Lawyers for both said: “No comment.”
