BUENOS AIRES — The Argentine woman linked to Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina said Sunday that she had a “firm suspicion” of who broke into one of her e-mail accounts that discussed her relationship with the governor, but she declined to name the person.
The woman, María Belén Chapur, 41, said the messages had not been sent by a man she briefly dated, a person she described only as someone she had “shared days in Brazil in the Rolex Regatta.” That friend “is an excellent, respectable and honorable man incapable of making anything similar to that,” she wrote in a statement read Sunday on the Argentinian television station CN5.
The statement was the first public comment by Ms. Chapur since she was identified as the woman with whom Mr. Sanford was having an affair.
Ms. Chapur said her Hotmail account was “hacked” around Nov. 24. Sometime in December, the hacker sent the e-mail messages to both the friend who she spent time with in Brazil, as well as to The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., she said.
In the letter, Ms. Chapur did not mention Mr. Sanford. “I won’t speak about my private life as it just belongs to me,” she said. “It has already been made too public during these last days, bringing to me even more pain.”
