Yoko Ono’s personal driver has been arrested for trying to extort $2million from her and threatened to circulate embarrassing photos of her. Yoko Ono is best known as the widow of John Lennon of The Beatles. According to police, Ono’s chauffeur also threatened to kill her and son Sean Lennon.
Koral Karson was arrested on Long Island, New York, Wednesday, afternoon after Ono reported the plot, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said. Charges against Karson were pending.
Karson allegedly sent a note in which he wrote that he had secretly photographed her and made audiotapes of her in private moments. Karsan warned he would make the material public if she didn’t pay him, police said.
Karson dropped of the note and a photograph of Ono in nightclothes, on December 8, the 26th anniversary of John Lennon’s death.
Elliot Mintz, Ono’s rep said,
Ono was shocked by what happened and did what any citizen would do — she went to the cops.
