Lawyer Arrested After Internet Blackmail Sex Scheme Goes Wrong

All tax attorney Steven Klig (allegedly!) wanted was that special feeling of empowerment that comes from blackmailing an ex-lover into sending naked photographs of herself. But then she had to ruin everything by blabbing to the FBI about his demanding e-mails, in which he threatened to post a scandalous video montage of their sexual encounters on the Internet. One such email was (allegedly!) sent while the 44-year-old Klig—a partner at finance giant Deloitte—was vacationing with his family at Disney World. (Which, to be fair, can make one creepily horny.) The e-mail, obtained by the Post, goes a little something like, "Just to give you a head's up. I've been doing a little editing on our video. Mostly some blurring of myself so that I won't be recognized. You, on the other hand, can be seen very clearly having the time of your life being f---ed by me." After an investigation, Klig was arrested Monday and charged with extortion, harassment, and generally acting (allegedly!) like a world class scumbag.
