A male escort from Florida nicknamed "Dream" allegedly tried to extort $100,000 from a New Orleans lawyer he slept with in California, authorities are saying. Terrill Lewis, 25, of Titusville, Fla., threatened the unidentified lawyer with releasing compromising video footage and pictures of the night they spent together in a California hotel to the victim's family, friends and business associates in New Orleans, a report from the Orange County, Fla., Sheriff's Office says.
According to the document, the victim says he was in California in late August when Hurricane Isaac struck the New Orleans area, stranding him. The victim -- described as a prominent attorney -- hired Lewis from an erotic website; and the two drank wine and talked in the lawyer's hotel room the night of Aug. 27.
The next morning, investigators believe, Lewis was gone, and the lawyer awoke with a hangover that was exceptionally severe. He found two used condoms in the bathroom. There was a text message on his phone to "Dream" saying: "Thanks it was a great time."
Subsequently, the report adds, the victim began receiving texts and phone calls from Lewis, who said he would distribute videos and pictures of the two men having sex if he was not paid $100,000. The lawyer paid Lewis $4,000 to keep quiet; agreed to meet the escort in Orlando to give him the rest; and contacted law enforcement for help.
When Lewis and the lawyer met at a bar Tuesday afternoon, authorities say they recorded the escort telling the lawyer he was there to collect $100,000 in exchange for the compromising images and video. Officials showed up, detained Lewis and booked him with one count of extortion, the incident report states.
