"Extortion" IS the criminal charge.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im not sure what you're asking here. As the person above me said, Extortion is the charge. Are you asking what the penalty is? Or are you asking what extortion is defined as? Extortion is forcing someone using threats, physical abuse, blackmail etc. to provide money, goods, services, etc. to you. Think of old school Mafia movies; the gangster threatens and assaults a shopkeeper until they agree to kick up a vig (money). Penalties for extortion vary dramatically from state to state so if that is what you are asking you will need to provide the state you would like information on.
