BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – A 41-year-old Argentine woman acknowledged having a relationship with South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, saying Sunday that widely published e-mail correspondence between the two was obtained from her account without permission.

In a brief statement sent to news network C5n of Buenos Aires, Maria Belen Chapur said she will not talk about her private life, which has already been the focus of intense media scrutiny in the United States and Argentina.

"I have decided to send this statement to clear up certain incorrect things that are being reported, and put an end to a matter that, as you imagine, is very painful to me, my two children, my entire family and close friends."

Chapur said someone accessed her Hotmail account without permission late last year and leaked e-mail correspondence that described a relationship with Sanford to the South Carolina newspaper The State.

But she denied the hacker is a friend of hers — as has been widely reported here — saying he is as much a victim of the media frenzy as she.

"I have a strong suspicion of who is responsible for this evil act that was directed at me but also destroyed the lives of so many others," Chapur said. "But without sufficient proof, and for legal reasons, I am obligated to not reveal the name.

"It is not for me to judge anyone. I leave it all in the hands of God," she concluded.

The statement was addressed to C5n anchor Eduardo Feinman, who read it on camera. Feinman was Chapur's editor when she worked briefly as a television reporter in 2001.

Chapur has been widely reported to have been Sanford's mistress after the governor admitted to the relationship following a secret trip to Argentina earlier this month.

But he did not say identify Chapur.

Reporters staked out Chapur's building in an upper-class neighborhood in the Argentine capital for days trying to locate her, and pressing for information from neighbors and the owner of a bar that Chapur and Sanford reportedly visited.

People who know Chapur describe her as an elegant, well-mannered, soft-spoken woman who speaks several languages. She is a graduate in political science from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires and a divorced mother of two sons.

Heber Alvarez, a doorman at her building, said she often rises early for morning jobs through the neighborhood.

In an ironic twist, she will present concrete evidence that Rush Limbaugh was correct! The affair was caused by the Governor's extreme loss of hope due to Obama!

People are really odd:

"I have a strong suspicion of who is responsible for this evil act that was directed at me but also destroyed the lives of so many others," Chapur said. "But without sufficient proof, and for legal reasons, I am obligated to not reveal the name.

"It is not for me to judge anyone. I leave it all in the hands of God," she concluded...

I love this quote. Not saying that printing people's private email is right, but just wondering which 'evil' is actually responsible for the ruined lives...
