Extortion is the unlawful act of taking property from a person by threats of future harm. You can commit this crime in person, via telephone, written or electronic communications, or it may be verbally implied. Although extortion involves only the implication of inflicting harm, it remains a serious crime and will be aggressively prosecuted and, if convicted, you will be sent to prison. O.C.G.A. §16-8-16.
If you have been charged with extortion, the most important thing to do is act quickly! From the moment you are arrested, the government begins working on your case.
