Two female tenants at an apartment complex in Fairfax County, Virginia offered their landlord sexual favors in return for a month's rent, claiming an inability to pay. The landlord allegedly agreed to the arrangement, according to a report yesterday from The Washington Post.
But it wasn't until later when the landlord discovered the tenants' real plot: to extort the landlord for several thousands of dollars. Apparently, while the landlord was over the tenants' apartment to make good on their sex-for-rent offer, the tenants secretly taped him. According to the Post, they then threatened the landlord with sending a copy of the video to his wife unless he paid them $11,000.
The landlord instead called the police, who raided the apartment and took the tenants into custody. They now face charges of threatening extortion, a felony that carries up to a 10-year prison sentence in Virginia.
