LINCOLN State Sen. Bill Kintner, who says he "caved to ... temptation," will pay a $1,000 fine for misuse of public resources for using a state computer to engage in cybersex.
The fine, announced Friday, was part of a settlement with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission.
"Im to blame here," Kintner said Friday. "I didnt have to do this. I didnt have to succumb to this."
In a statement, he said he participated in cybersex via Skype. He said the woman involved then informed him she was extorting money from him, and he then contacted the Nebraska State Patrol.

Krist said he never saw the video, but he wanted the executive branch to know because Kintner is married to Lauren Kintner, who leads Ricketts policy research office.
The two will have been married seven years in October. Lauren Kintner has ovarian cancer and was able to fulfill her duties throughout the legislative session.
