A woman has pleaded guilty to attempting to extort $10 million from her boyfriend by threatening to tell the police that he raped her.
Princess Williams, 19, of Lot 3127 Block 3 Providence, East Bank Deme-rara, yesterday appeared at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts where Senior Magistrate Leron Daly read the charge to her.
The charge against her states that between January 4th and January 6th, at Georgetown, with intent to extort money from Kenrick Thomas, that is to say $10,000,000, she threatened to accuse him of attempting to rape her.
She pleaded guilty to the extortion charge and was remanded until March 5th. The magistrate requested that a probation report is presented to the court at the next hearing when Williams will be sentenced.
According to the facts presented to the court by the police prosecutor, Thomas and Williams were involved in a sexual relationship that ended on January 4.
The court heard that the two met at the man’s home on the date mentioned and Thomas asked to engage in sexual intercourse which Williams consented to. Afterward an argument ensued between the two and the relationship ended. The man later received an audio message from the woman where she accused him of raping her. She also told him that if he paid $10,000,000, she would not report the information to the police.
