Family member tried to extort NFL star Tyrann Mathieu for $5 million over sexual misconduct claims, court documents show.
A relative of NFL star Tyrann Mathieu allegedly tried to extort him for $5 million, according to federal court documents unsealed on Tuesday.
While the victim is unnamed in the criminal complaint -- only referred to as a professional athlete with the initials"TM" -- Mathieu's lawyer, Denise White of EAG Sports, confirmed to Kansas City ABC affiliate KMBC that Mathieu was the victim. But a day after being blocked, the suspect allegedly contacted a friend of Mathieu and said in a text,"5 MILLION BY FRIDAY IM DONE TALKING EMAILING TMZ NOW." He also provided his bank account information so Mathieu, or his associates, could deposit the money, according to court documents.
The suspect then spoke to Mathieu's agent by telephone and said he would"injure TM's reputation by alleging sexual misconduct" if he didn't receive the money.
