Thief threatened to publish explicit photos from cameraphone

A Kennewick woman who lost her camera phone Saturday night called her number on the off-chance someone had found it and would answer, reports KEPR News.

"Thirty-three year old Jason Dawson picked up and told her if she wanted it back, she'd have to pay him $50 bucks.  He threatened to publish explicit photos from her phone's camera if she did not pay him .

The woman arranged to meet Dawson for the exchange, then she called the police.

He was caught and booked for second degree extortion".
