Former Republican Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn‘s wife has filed for divorce on the day new charges were filed against him following his arrest as part of an underage sex sting, according to reports.

Brittany Eichorn filed a petition for dissolution of marriage in Itasca County Court Monday, Northern News Now reported. Brittany, 40, and Justin Eichorn, one of the legislators who proposed a law to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness, share four children together.

Eichorn was to be allowed conditional release, but that has since been revoked after investigators say the 40-year-old organized with a woman from Grand Rapids to retrieve items, including a computer, from an apartment he used when he was away from home working in the state capital of Minnesota, St. Paul.

He did this despite reportedly being made aware that his calls from jail would be recorded and monitored. “Eichorn’s conduct evidences a willingness to conceal material facts from the Court and to do so at the expense of public safety,” prosecutors said, according to the Daily Mail.
