Hi Alisa, thank you for providing your location. Could you describe the situation you're in? It will allow me to provide more accurate information.
Met someone. When i told them im a struggling single mom they offered to give me money and help me if i just texted with them and hung out sometimes. Found out they were happily married and didnt want to respond. Offered $* to respond and for each visit after. Was going to meet up and they said im obly getting money if i have sex with them and i need to be appreciative of the offer and be nice. I said that wasnt the agreement and that they are trying to coerce me to have sex and using their power against me. I told him i dont want to talk anymore and want the money i was told i would get or i would tell his wife hes trying to solicit sex and trying to force me to sleep with him changing the original agreement and he said he can get me arrested for extortion.
