Woman gets prison for extortion

Garth writes "A California woman successfully extorted $2 million, and went for $13.5 million more, by threatening to accuse a wealthy man of fondling her at a Las Vegas Casino. After the second threat the man went to police, and they recorded the woman making the threats. She is facing at least 28 months in prison. It is possible that her biggest mistake was targeting the husband of famous singer Celine Dion. I doubt that a less well connected man would be so lucky."
