The wife of the disgraced ex-senator who was caught allegedly trying to rape an underage child tried to help him cover his tracks just before FBI agents swooped in, according to prosecutors.

Republican Minnesota Senator Justin Eichorn, 40, was arrested in his car last week after he allegedly arranged to meet up with who he thought was a 17-year-old girl for sex.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, his wife Brittany allegedly helped Eichorn clean up his St. Paul's apartment by collecting a gun, laptop and cellphone, all before agents could search the property, in an astonishing act of spousal loyalty.

Brittany filed a petition for dissolution of marriage on Monday.

During his probable cause and detention hearing on Wednesday, Eichorn's attorney, Charles Hawkins, said those accusations were false, and that he and Brittany discussed in jail phone calls that she had left her work computer at the apartment that she wanted to pick up.

The couple, from Grand Rapids, manage 138 apartment units across five buildings, the Star Tribune reported.

FBI agents were sitting on the St. Paul apartment on March 17 waiting for a search warrant to be signed when Brittany arrived and asked if she could retrieve her computer, but was denied access, the outlet said. 

According to U.S. Attorney Daniel Bobier, Eichorn 'thought his wife would go in there and clean out the apartment' before officials arrived.
