Chris Andersen Is Extortion Victim, Says Lawyer
"A female fan in 2010 mailed Mr. Andersen multiple letters and included several photos in which she was scantily clad. Chris and this woman communicated with each other and in 2011, this woman, who represented herself as 21 years of age, flew to Colorado, showing her required identification. After leaving Colorado, she became upset at his lack of interest. In 2012, she threatened to retaliate if he did not provide financial remuneration. "
Andersen, who has been excused indefinitely from team activities by the Denver Nuggets, has been under investigation since February.
