The Alabama Media Group on Wednesday posted an excerpt from what it said was a recording of a telephone conversation between Mr. Bentley and Ms. Mason. In the segment, he refers to “when I stand behind you and I put my arms around you and I put my hands on your breasts.” Later, the governor said, “If we’re going to do what we did the other day, we’re going to have to start locking the door.”
Mr. Collier said he ultimately learned that someone in Mr. Bentley’s family had made the recording he heard, and he confronted the governor in August 2014, as they traveled to an event in Greenville, Ala.
“I told Governor Bentley that I loved him like a father and that there was nothing I wouldn’t do for him, except lie to a grand jury,” Mr. Collier said Wednesday, his left hand sometimes trembling. “I made Governor Bentley aware of the recording that I heard. I told Governor Bentley there was no need to try and explain it for anything other than it was. It was very obvious that it was sexual in nature.”
Mr. Bentley, Mr. Collier said, “simply hung his head and asked for advice on how to get out of it.” According to Mr. Collier, he warned the governor that using state resources to facilitate an affair amounted to a crime. Mr. Collier said Mr. Bentley assured him that he had violated no laws.
