'King County prosecutors have filed second-degree extortion charges against a Renton woman accused of threatening to report a former lover as a rapist if he didn't pay her $2,000.

In court documents, Mercer Island police contend that Jeanine Ann Gessner began harassing the man after he broke a date with her to attend a pre-season Seahawks game on Aug. 22.

An instant message exchange between Gessner and the man included in court filings shows a marked shift in her attitude toward him following the broken date. Initially loving, the writer whom prosecutors allege to be Gessner ultimately sent the man dozens of threatening messages.'
