LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol says a state lawmaker’s concern that he was the target of an internet scam led to an investigation about whether the lawmaker had a sexually explicit video of himself on his state-owned computer.

In a statement, the patrol says it was contacted by Papillion Sen. Bill Kintner in July 2015 over a possible scam. The patrol says that following its investigation in October, it turned over information to the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, which turned the matter over to the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission. The commission oversees ethics complaints against public officials.

Gov. Pete Ricketts said in a statement late Friday that he became aware of the investigation into Kintner from the state patrol, but was unable to acknowledge it publicly because of the ongoing investigation.
