Woman charged in alleged TLC plot
An Iowa woman has been charged with extortion in an alleged plot to get Discovery Communications Inc. to cancel the TLC show “19 Kids and Counting” or pay her $10,000.
The woman is accused of threatening to release photos of a cast member in “apparently intimate situations” to a magazine.
Teresa Hunt, of Bettendorf, is charged in U.S. District Court in Davenport with one count of extortion.
According to an affidavit, Hunt sent a letter in January to the parent company of TLC describing a musician and providing details of an affair with a cast member. The program is about a family with 19 children.
Hunt was arrested Feb. 1.
