Find answers to your legal question.





question of extortion??

I am wanting to write a book about my life however if I do this, one of my family members will lose public respect. This is part of my life and therefore I am not willing to leave that person out of my story. I have been estranged from this person for many years and have no desire to protect them. If they offer me money to not publish my story is that considered extortion??

No, extortion is when someone DEMANDS money FROM you. This is called a "bribe". Actually, just a reward.
