On February 16th, 2018, Kettle was arrested on charges of video voyeurism and extortion. A former girlfriend of Kettle filed the complaint. As a result of this arrest, Rhode Island state police seized Kettle's electronic devices.
Kettle was also charged with extorting a Senate page for sex on two occasions in 2011. Facing likely expulsion from the Rhode Island Senate, Kettle resigned on February 22, 2018. He complained about being denied due process in his resignation letter. In August 2019 Kettle was ultimately acquitted of extortion after the Attorney General's office dismissed the indictment after Kettle's legal team presented new evidence.
