Extortion is among some of the most serious crimes you can be charged with in Canada. Extortion, or blackmail, is the act of making threats, menaces, accusations, or using weapons or violence to get someone to do something, such as pay money or perform sexual acts. If you are convicted of extortion, you could face a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, with a minimum of five years in prison if a firearm is used. Because this charge is often linked with other offences, such as sexual assault or firearms and weapons offences, the Crown is likely to seek a maximum penalty.
