Shortly after the burglaries,
Macpherson was contacted by telephone and by
mail from someone who threatened to release the photos on
the Internet if
she did not
give them $60,000.
Macpherson called
the police, who
set up a
sting. After the pair realised that
law enforcement had been called, they increased their demand by an additional $
20,000. The duo was arrested on
August 4, 1997.

one cout of attempted extortion and
one count of burglary. He received a
