SENTENCE DELAYED IN A&M BLACKMAIL CASE
A federal judge in Houston has delayed the sentencing of a man who extorted money from a Texas A&M professor who ended up killing himself.
Daniel Duplaiser pled guilty to blackmailing Texas A&M Communications Professor James Aune,
Duplaisir posed a 16-year old girl who carried on explicit online conversations with the professor, then posed as the girl’s angry father. The ‘father’ demanded $5000 from Aune or he would expose him. Aune paid some of that amount but then killed himself by jumping to his death from a building on the A&M Campus.
The maximum penalty is two years.
The sentencing was delayed because of scheduling problems.
