How Serious Is a Blackmail Charge?
Blackmail is verbal, written, printed communication with intent to extort or gain anything of value from another or to compel another to do an act against his or her will. Below, our Tulsa criminal defense attorney explains more.
1. Accusing or threatening to accuse any person of a crime or conduct which would tend to degrade and disgrace the person accused.
2. Exposing or threatening to expose any fact, report, or information concerning any person which would in any way subject such person to the ridicule or contempt of society.
3. Threatening to report a person as being illegally present in the United States, and is coupled with the threat that such accusation or exposure will be communicated to a third person or persons unless the person threatened or some other person pays or delivers to the accuser or some other person something of value or does some act against his or her will. Blackmail is a felony punishable by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for not to exceed five (5) years or fine not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or by both such imprisonment and fine.
