An online relationship that began on a “sugar daddy” web site ended in a series of extortionate demands by a Florida woman who threatened to distribute nude photos sent to her by the 56-year-old male victim, according to investigators.

Stephanie Starling, 26, was arrested Monday in connection with her alleged shakedown of a married Las Vegas businessman identified in court records by his initials, “H.T.”

As detailed in a felony extortion complaint, Starling, “H.T.” on sugardaddyforme.com, a “dating” web site that matches women in need of money and men with said money. “H.T.” told FBI agents that he joined the site (which charges up to $53.85 a month) in mid-2012 and “began an online relationship” with Starling in September or October.

Starling, “H.T.” recalled, claimed to be a 21-year-old college student from Jacksonville. The photos she first shared with “H.T” actually depicted a blonde model who appeared in porno films. Starling is pictured above in an photo from her Facebook page.

During their initial communications, “H.T.” voluntarily agreed to send Starling $7000 to cover “various school and living expenses.” The pair also exchanged “several revealing and nude photographs of each other.” But while “H.T” sent Starling explicit photos of himself, she sent naked images of another woman she found online.

Starling claimed she signed up to sugardaddyforme.com because she was “struggling to pay bills and feed” her young son. Starling, who said that “H.T.” “told me he wanted to have me as his side girlfriend,” told agents that she had relationships with “approximately five or six men” she met via the web site.

In late-November, after “H.T.” declined to send Starling any additional funds, she began threatening to send his naked photos to his family, employer, and various social networking sites. “H.T.” wired Starling an additional $1200 via Western Union after she assured him, “You have my word you’ll never hear from me again.”

That pledge lasted about three weeks. In a series of escalating threats, http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/rele ... ingdoc.jpg Starling warned “H.T.” that if he did not sent more money, “I’m messaging your wife.” Referring to money being sent to her, Starling texted, “I better have a tracking number by 6pm my time or I’m making you famous.”

In subsequent messages, Starling threatened to harm “H.T.” and his family. “I’m gonna come to Vegas,” she wrote, adding, “I will never fucking stop until I get my money or you die.” In one February 23 text to “H.T.,” Starling reported, “Stalking your Twitter now.” As seen on Starling’s Twitter page, she sent “H.T.” two messages that day: “found you” and “you should answer me back.”

After "H.T." contacted the FBI, agents opened an investigation in early-February. Investigators traced the extortion demands to Starling’s Jacksonville home, which they searched Monday. During the raid, Starling spoke with FBI agents and admitted sending “H.T.” threatening communications. “I will never do that again,” she said. “I know what I was doing was wrong.”

In a four-page handwritten confession, http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/teg/tsg/rele ... ngdoc2.jpg Starling said she was “in college aspiring to become a dentist” and was “sorry for the stress and pain I caused him.” She added, “I want to be able to go home to my son tonight.”

Starling, who was jailed following her arrest Monday, was scheduled today for a detention hearing in U.S. District Court in Jacksonville. If convicted of the extortion rap, she faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
 
Twenty years seems harsh but then there's only so much sympathy I can muster for her. She knew what she was doing was illegal, unethical and plain cruel. Yes, it was stupid of the guy to send her nude photos and ask her to be his "side girlfriend" but that hardly gives her the right to extort him for thousands of dollars.

Her actions were wrong no doubt about that, but I don't think it deserves more time than a violent crime would have gotten.

This makes me not want to have anything to do with they guys who request blackmail as part of financial domination. It's more trouble than it's worth for me.

It does say a "maximum" of twenty years, so maybe she'll get less.

And I think (though could be wrong) that with most financial domination arrangements, a contract is usually signed by both parties that details the finer points of the arrangement and what is/is not agreed to.
 
Wow - maximum of 20 years?! That's a long sentence. But what a crazy story :s
 
If she has no criminal history, looking at the sentencing guidelines, I think she looking at 6-12 months. This seems just to me.

They usually do, but from what I've heard the contract isn't actually legally binding, and probably wouldn't really protect you much in court.

I always wondered about that when I would see "consensual blackmail" in a profile. Its obviously stupid for the guy (sorry If I'm offended anyone who does this) but also really, really risky for the model. Any contract agreeing to a criminal act is worthless and besides all the man would have to say was he was blackmailed into signing it. :twocents-02cents:

In response to the original post: Where are Kanye and Jamie Foxx when you need them to sing a little song?

In response to the blackmail financial dom stuff: That's rather interesting. I would have never considered how risky that type of thing could get. I guess there are some steps that can help things stay kosher but no real guarantees.

Manslaughter carries a maximum sentence of 14 years.
So... does this mean we put a greater value on wealth than we do on human life? Just some food for thought.

Murder includes loss of life too, should the life lost there be valued less than one in a manslaughter case? I think you are looking at it the wrong way. It is not that we as a society or judicial system value money over life but that we consider intention and motivation. Manslaughter usually does not include intent or maliciousness but leans more towards negligence. With extortion there is clear intent and maliciousness involved. You would have to compare premeditated murder to extortion for a proper analogy.

I hate the news. They always report the maximum amount of time she can go to jail for the shock factor. I hope she'll not even see jail time. She doesn't seem like a bad person at all. Just took things too far, needed money, was too desperate.. Whatever.

Maybe I'm just saying that because she looks sweet in that picture though.
