Erica Freeman, a 25-year-old dominatrix, who dished out pain to men, faces federal charges of extorting cash from a Wayne County man.
A 21-page criminal complaint filed in Detroit says the Atlanta woman used Twitter and Facebook to extort money from a married man who sent her incriminating photos, Robert Snell of The Detroit News reports. Freeman, aka "Temptress Nirvana,” threatened to expose his infidelity unless he paid.
Snell writes:
Freeman’s social media posts offer an illustrated gallery of pain and ridicule, including a GIF of Freeman kicking one man in the groin, slapping another in the face with a stack of cash and sitting on another whose face is stuck in a toilet.
Freeman has been arrested and is expected to be arraigned in Detroit in coming days. She could not be reached for comment and there was no attorney listed in her court file.
The FBI case dates to September, when the local man met Freeman after he followed her Twitter account, @nirvanafetish, and liked several posts.
The man voluntarily sent Freeman several sexually explicit photos and about $5,000 via her PayPal and other accounts over four months. The husband briefly stopped communicating with her around Jan. 1 and she threatened to expose the online relationship unless he paid $10,000.
She demanded more and eventually he contacted authorities.
"In all, [he] paid Freeman approximately $10,000," an FBI agent writes in the complaint. "The first $5,000 he did of his own free will. [He] paid the remaining $5,000 . . . only because Freeman began threatening to expose their relationship."
