plezer - If he involves a lawyer or the police, how does he keep from ramifications from the law for supporting the hobby? Also, wouldn't his wife find out for sure in those cases?

If he goes the lawyer route, the lawyer can discretely handle it, once he hires them, anything he discusses with them is privileged info, meaning the lawyer really can't discuss it with anyone but him without his permission. Also, the lawyer probably isn't going to care about them playing in the hobby years ago.

Depending on the cop, it would likely be the same discretion if he asked for it, especially if he spoke with a detective, they aren't going to care that he used to play as there is no proof of the crime, that is except for the extortion, and that is a much more serious crime.

If it were me, I would handle it with an attorney.

You don't even have to buy a new phone. You can change the number on a burner phone.

Doesnt sound like shewas hooking much or for very long... she probablly doesnt want outed, either.

If the chick is abusing drugs, out her that way to her family, anonymousy if possible... maybe she gets some help and loses the need for quick dollars, but that seems like a lasr resort, if he feels like shes definitely going through with the threat.

Why would you assume her family doesn't already know.

Obviously the best way to go is to make her aware that what she is doing is illegal. She may not even understand that. Make it clear to her that if she does tell the wife then you will press charges.

After that there is nothing in it for her to keep bothering your friend. But you friend sounds like a piece of crap. Why is he seeing a provider when he is newly married? Thats asshole stuff. If you are worried about her ruining your marriage then you shouldn't be seeing a provider to begin with. he put his wife in danger.

How do you know she doesn't read this site? If she did the bluffing part is worthless.

What are you implying?

Block her number. She'll move on to her next scam.

I agree with Loginname. That's the way to approach it. She is guilty of a felony at this point.

I'm just happy that all this bad shit ain't happenin' to us jimmies! Our "friends" are havin' it rough, though! They maybe should be friends with a better class o' peeps....we might be bad influences (we do seem to be good at gettin' them lots of advice though!)
