STATE v. CRONE

No. 94-1805.

545 N.W.2d 267 (1996)

STATE of Iowa, Appellee, v. Patrick John CRONE, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Iowa.

March 20, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Linda Del Gallo, State Appellate Defender, and Ahmet S. Gonlubol, Assistant State Appellate Defender, for appellant.

Thomas J. Miller, Attorney General, Robert P. Ewald, Assistant Attorney General, J. Patrick White, County Attorney, and Anne Lahey, Assistant County Attorney, for appellee.

Considered en banc.


TERNUS, Justice.

The relationship between appellant, Patrick Crone, and his girlfriend, Andrea Forman, was a stormy one. A sequel to this relationship was Crone's conviction of extortion after he threatened to circulate compromising photos of Forman if she did not meet with him. Crone claims his conduct does not fall within our criminal extortion statute, Iowa Code section 711.4 (1989). We think it does and so affirm his conviction.
