FBI Arrests "Proud Romney Supporter" For Extorting Money From Man She Met On "Sugar Daddy" Web Site

An online relationship that began on a “sugar daddy” web site ended in a series of extortionate demands by a Florida woman who threatened to distribute nude photos sent to her by the 56-year-old male victim, according to investigators.

Stephanie Starling, 26, was arrested Monday in connection with her alleged shakedown of a married Las Vegas businessman identified in court records by his initials, “H.T.”

As detailed in a felony extortion complaint, Starling, seen at right, met “H.T.” on sugardaddyforme.com, a “dating” web site that matches women in need of money and men with said money. “H.T.” told FBI agents that he joined the site (which charges up to $53.85 a month) in mid-2012 and “began an online relationship” with Starling in September or October.

Starling, “H.T.” recalled, claimed to be a 21-year-old college student from Jacksonville. The photos she first shared with “H.T” actually depicted a blonde model who appeared in porno films. Starling is pictured above in an Election Day 2012 photo from her Facebook page, where she describes herself as a “proud Romney supporter since 2007!”

No word yet on which political office RNC chair Reince Priebus is recruiting her to run for.

where a guy with a house and pool was looking for a roommate. The roommate had to be in the early twenties and female.
The ads should have said "sugar daddy looking for sex slave"

once, let alone someone who admits voting for him twice.

Talk about voter fraud ... apparently 50+ million voters ... didn't.

...then you have really shitty game.

And if you have to throw ridiculous amounts of money at women you've never even met just to get them to talk to you, it's time to re-evaluate everything.
