A Superior Court judge in Windsor is sorting out the truth in an extortion trial that involves sex, lies and videotape.
Sarah Sacheli reports in The Windsor Star that Justice Lynda Templeton said Thursday she will need several weeks to go over all the evidence before handing down her decision in a case in which a local doctor says he was the target of an extortion plot involving a woman who had been a patient and her alleged accomplice, a body builder.
Tammy Hands, 49, is charged with voyeurism and extortion. She is accused of using a cell phone to secretly videotape herself and the married doctor having sex, then handing the recordings over to David Andrew Bondy, 46. Bondy, a bodybuilder, confronted the doctor on Jan. 25, 2010, with a DVD of the sexual trysts and allegedly demanded $25,000.
The doctor's identity is subject to a uniquely Canadian publication ban, so his name has been kept out of media reports.
The doctor testified if he didn’t pay, Bondy threatened to tell the doctor’s wife and go after his medical license, the doctor said.
But a defense attorney previously suggested it was the doctor who offered money in exchange for Bondy’s silence after Bondy confronted him about taking advantage of Hands.
