Age has its privileges - for extortionists

A middle aged male photographer gets over three years in prison for trying to extort millions from a sexy actress who posed nude for him years ago:

Photographer John Rutter was sentenced to 3 years and 8 months in prison Thursday for trying to extort $4 million from actress Cameron Diaz who posed nude for him in 1992 when she was 19 years old. Rutter reportedly approached Diaz with the photos a week before the 2003 premiere of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, telling her that he had publishers who were interested in buying the photos.

An old female groupie gets probation for trying to extort millions from a football hero to refrain from publicizing an alleged 46-year-old affair:

SAN ANTONIO — An 82-year-old Texas woman who pleaded guilty to trying to extort $2 million from Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr has been sentenced to one year probation.

A federal judge also ordered Ruby Y. Young of Kerrville to not have any contact with Starr or his family or contact the media about an alleged relationship she had with the two-time Super Bowl MVP in 1960.

No one can say we don’t show mercy to our senior citizens. Besides, who would want to see nude pictures of Bart Starr?

Wonder why ol’ Ruby decided to hit up Bart for a cool $2mil forty-six years AFTER they (supposedly) got it on? At her age, she might have had a bit of a problem spending all that money before she was “called home” to face the Big Judge in the Sky. Geez, I hadn’t thought of Bart Starr in years and now my thoughts of him will be tainted by RickG’s last comment. Kind of a a bummer…

What would have been so scandalous for the world to know he had an affair so many years before?

Probably his image in the 1960s (and I am not conceding it ever happened because I don’t think he did).

Who said anything about pictures of Bart being involved in Ruby’s fantasies? Sure seems as if the judge was being kind to someone whose eleveator likely no longer goes all the way to the top.

We are Packers fans and well remember the glory years–and the infamous Ice Bowl for the NFL championship. Bart’s still a hero in this household.

Bart’s still a hero in this household.

In this one, too. She is an established extortionist. Bart remains the best. Maybe he didn’t have the best stats, but he won with Vince. Nuff said

Sounds like shriveled up Ruby tried to take her love to town, eh? (;

OK, OK, sorry for the corny joke, but Bart Starr was and is a class act.

This kind of thing is part and parcel to the cult and culture where losers think they can gain fame andf fortune by sullying the name of people who have actually acheived something in life.

And 46 years later, like someone is supposed to give a flying flip?

Pathetic, I’m embarrassed that she lives in Texas.

Kerrville is where Kinky Friedman ran for JP or something. He refers to the residents there as “Kerrverts.”
