A male escort from Florida nicknamed "Dream" allegedly tried to extort $100,000 from a New Orleans lawyer he slept with in California, a newspaper in Orlando, Fla., is reporting. Terrill Lewis, 25, of Titusville, Fla., threatened the unidentified lawyer with releasing compromising video footage and pictures of the night they spent together in a California hotel to the victim's family, friends and business associates in New Orleans, authorities told the Orlando Sentinel.
According to the Sentinel's report, the victim says he was in California in late August when Hurricane Isaac struck the New Orleans area, stranding him. The victim -- described only as a prominent attorney -- hired Lewis from an erotic website; and the two drank wine and talked.
The next morning, the Sentinel reports, Lewis was gone, and the lawyer awoke with a hangover. He found two used condoms in the bathroom. There was a text message on his phone to "Dream" saying: "Thanks it was a great time."
Subsequently, the Sentinel adds, the victim began receiving texts and phone calls from Lewis, who said he would distribute videos and pictures of the two men having sex if he was not paid $100,000. The lawyer paid Lewis $4,000 to keep quiet; agreed to meet the escort in Orlando to give him the rest; and contacted police for help.
When Lewis and the lawyer met at a bar Tuesday afternoon, authorities showed up, detained the escort and booked him with one count of extortion, the Sentinel wrote.
