I will refrain from calling her a ***** until this resolves. If it is false, she should serve time, but if she is telling the truth so should he.

Problem is, she'll never do a bit of time.
I agree with you that I'd side with her and let her talk. She'll talk herself right out of her paycheck.
Had Ben done anything improper, I'm sure he'd have shut this thing up long before it hit the press.
I'd be damned if I'd pay a dime to an extortionist. I admire Ben's character for that act alone. It puts him ten rungs above her on the human scale before it's even started.
He'll also have to pay tons of money to defend himself.
It ain't right. People can really suck.
