Q: I got intimate with a lady in Maryland. She claims she’s pregnant 6 weeks later and is requesting for exorbitant amount.
She said she wants $5k then later $10k before she can undertake abortion. She also started stalking my wife taking pictures from her social media handles and sending to me. What are my legal options please. How might I deal with this?

A:
You should consider contacting a lawyer immediately to discuss your situation and understand your rights and options. This situation involves potential legal issues such as extortion and harassment, which a lawyer can help address. Document all communications and evidence, including the demands for money and the stalking behavior.
You might also want to inform local law enforcement about the harassment and stalking. They can provide guidance on how to protect yourself and your family from further threats or intimidation. It's important to prioritize the safety and well-being of your family during this time.
Additionally, refrain from making any payments or agreements without legal advice. Your lawyer can help you navigate this complex situation and take appropriate legal actions to protect your interests and ensure that any threats are properly addressed.
