Miss New Jersey claims extortion attempt
nj.com (excerpt) ^ | July 5, 2007 | MaryAnn Spoto

The reigning Miss New Jersey claims someone is using photographs she posted on the Internet to try to force her to give up her crown.

Amy Polumbo and her attorney held a news conference at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park this afternoon to denounce the blackmail attempt.

The 22-year-old Howell woman said she received copies of between six and 12 of her photos in the mail on June 25 with a letter threatening to make them public unless she gives up her crown to the pageant's first runner-up.

Must see said photos before making judgment.

She didn’t already make them public by posting them on the Net herself?

Yep, sounds like she screwed herself.

Don’t ever put anything on the internet that would make your momma blush.

I'd hope so, seeing as it's a black & white picture!

They are shots Polumbo posted in a private section of an Internet photo-sharing site so her friends and family could see them, Polumbo said

They say that they aren't "lewd". Which is probably why they are freely going after the blackmailer.

This thread is, of course, useless without pictures!

If she posted them on the internet, the cat is out of the bag, so to speak...

I’m pretty sure that most of the guys here on FR would be happy to pronounce her “not guitly” if they could just get a gander at the pictures in question. :)

She posted them on an internet site, but the photos were not publicly viewable - presumably she could restrict access to specific friends who would need to log on to be identified.

Yeah and besides, she said that she’s never even seen a real burro.

Nah, this is the opposite of the female teacher sex abuse cases. In a case like this, the prettier she is the more likely she is to be guilty of whatever she’s accused of.
