Husband, Wife Attorney Team in Sex Extortion Plot

From The Curmudgeonly Clerk:

Roberts & Roberts has seen better days, if this San Antonio Express-News article is any indication. The story is a long and interesting read. In a nutshell, the following is what occurred.

Attorney Mary Schorlemer Roberts placed an add on AdultFriendFinder, seeking extramarital relationship(s). The Express News reports that "[o]nline flirting and secret meetings followed." Apparently, these liaisons did not remain secret, however. Law parter and husband Ted H. Roberts subsequently sent what sounds like demand letters to his wife's paramours. Among other things, these documents appeared to assert the possibility of pre-lawsuit discovery and public disclosure of these affairs to wives and employers. Confidential settlements involving large sums of money were reached. Somewhere between $75,000 and $150,000 total was apparently recovered from Ms. Roberts's various lovers.

The Clerk's post goes on at some length, and is quite interesting.
