A British man who married the Billionaire's daughter, was put in jail after trying to blackmail his estranged wife by posting her nude photos on the internet.
Haley Meijer, who is the daughter of the CEO and co-chairman of huge supermarket chain Meijer was threatened by her estranged husband, James Casbolt. The 38 year old man demanded £2m from the heiress of £5.5billion ($8.5bn) fortune, in exchange of removing her explicit photos from the internet, the Daily Mail reports.
Casbolt threatens the whole family that if his demand is not going to be materialized he would "tickle the public interest for years."
Casbolt was then described in court as "extremely dangerous man" after threatening her wife to send suicide bombers to her parents' home and branding Haley as a prostitute.
During the arraignment, the court found out that Casbolt's threatening started when Meijer told her ex-husband that she will divorce him and he will not see their son again.
It was then the offender posted Haley's nude images, which was taken while he was still serving in the army.
Casbolt was found guilty after he admitted that he threatened Haley through text and emails, including two other females, who he contacted online.
During the sentence, Judge Christopher Harvey-Clarke told Casbolt, his intention is evil. "You were not mad, but you were bad and very dangerous to know to these women who were unfortunate enough to know you."
The judge added, that Casbolt abused the trust of her wife, after she trusted him with the intimate images to show her love.
"You systematically set out to destroy her reputation"
"Whilst on bail you consisted the offences against Miss Everett and Miss Swallow. This time you used the alias of a mythical serial killer," referring to the other two women.
The judge further added that Casbolt is a "dangerous man."
It was 2009 when Ms. Meijer married Casbolt but after two years the marriage started to break apart.
2012, Casbolt became violent towards Haley, that's when Meijer decided to file a divorce.
