Foxwoods Casino Sugar Daddy Extortion Lawyer
Relationships between “sugar daddies” and “sugar babies” can be complicated under even the best circumstances, but they can turn from complicated to life-altering if the former party accuses the latter of extorting them for more money than they were already providing. If you have found yourself in this sort of situation stemming from a visit to Mashantucket Pequot tribal land, you should strongly consider reaching out to a Foxwoods Casino “sugar daddy” extortion lawyer for help with your ensuing criminal case.
When Is a “Sugar Daddy” Relationship Illegal?
Intimate relationships that involve one party paying or otherwise compensating the other for their participation in the relationship exist in a somewhat complex legal gray area in Connecticut. Paying directly for sexual services—in other words, soliciting a prostitute—is very much against the law in the Constitution State, as are the acts of offering such services in exchange for any form of compensation, promoting the services of a prostitute, and even facilitating prostitution within privately owned property.
What makes “sugar daddy” relationships different is the fact that the “sugar daddy” is paying a “sugar baby” just to be involved in an intimate relationship, which may or may not involve sex. This means it does not technically qualify as Prostitution or Solicitation as they are currently defined under the Connecticut Penal Code, which in turn means that being a “sugar daddy” or “sugar baby” is legal—or perhaps more accurately, is not expressly illegal—in Connecticut.
As a Foxwoods Casino “sugar daddy” extortion attorney can explain, though, any “sugar baby” who compels their “sugar daddy” to pay them more money than they are already receiving by threatening them with physical injury, property damage, public embarrassment, or any other form of harm has committed a criminal offense. Specifically, they may have committed Larceny via Extortion, which Connecticut General Statutes (C.G.S.) § 53a-122 defines as a Class B felony punishable by between one and 20 years in prison plus a maximum of $15,000 in fines regardless of how much money is allegedly involved in the scheme.
Contesting Allegations of “Sugar Daddy” Extortion
Most effective defenses against “sugar daddy” extortion accusations are built around proving that one or more key elements of the alleged crime were not present in the circumstances leading up to the defendant’s arrest. If even one component of “extortion” defined in the Connecticut Penal Code is absent, a court cannot convict the defendant on that specific charge.
In practice, this specifically tends to entail proving that there was no threat of future harm made by the “sugar baby” defendant against their “sugar daddy” or that any such threat was not made with the intent of compelling additional payment from the “sugar daddy.” Failing to pull off a “sugar daddy” extortion scheme involving Foxwood Casino and not getting any money from it may not prevent extortion charges from being filed against the person or people involved in that scheme, although there may be other defense strategies for situations like this which a knowledgeable defense lawyer can help to pursue.
