In reply to the discussion: All of Mugshots.com's alleged co-owners arrested on extortion charges [View all]BadGimp
(4,108 posts)7. A few things...
but first - Full Disclosure: Sahar Sarid is a friend. I've known him for 15 years, and watched him build this business. I thought he sold his interest. I'll have to ask him.
- The info is public. Any good background check will reveal it. So where is the crime?
- I don't see a legitimate case of Extortion. Maybe I'm being myopic.
- If someone launched Pedophiles.com and did the same thing would it be different?
I am thinking one important problem is they list Arrests and do not adequately disclose outcome or sentencing etc. Perhaps that's the issue.
Still processing...

An arrest is an arrest, not a conviction. Who said they're the same? *looks around*

No, but I imagine that their defense of the extortion charge will be straightforward:

Extortion could be the charge they're willing to bargain on. You think prosecutors are infallible?

Lol, you certainly are in for a wake-up call if you ever get involved with actual cases
