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.

So, let’s all chip in and offer the extortionist money for copies of the pictures. If enough of us it would only be a few dollars each. But then, it would probably be better for us to give the money to FR on this latest drive. LOL

She is claiming the photos have been doctored.

Read the comments at the bottom of the story for proof.

Good point.

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.

I didn't say anything about her level of GUILT, I used a FReeper phrase spelled "NOT GUITLY",  (LT<>TL) which can be loosely defined as "hot enough that I'd hit it, despite the apparent danger from her extra-moral activities."  :)

OK, I’ll buy that. But I maintain from looking at the one picture posted that it is highly likely that this girl is guilty of having naughty pictures made at some point, whether these are naughty or not.

Do you think old Mr. Daguerre and Mr. Brady and the other original photographers ever thought pornography would be so ubiquitous?

I think they'd be deeply saddened by the evil that all types of mass media have thrust into every nook and cranny of society.
