Columbus man is charged with Felony Extortion and simple assault
SUMMARY: David Earl Livingston, a 71-year-old Columbus man, was arrested on charges of felony extortion and simple assault after an undercover operation in Amory by Monroe County Investigators and Deputies. Livingston, a bail bondsman operating in Monroe and Lowndes counties, was accused of threatening a female client with jail time if she did not perform sexual favors. Both sheriff’s offices received complaints about Livingston engaging in similar activities. Investigators are urging other potential victims to come forward. Any unwanted sexual contact is considered simple assault, while forcing someone into sexual favors through threats of incarceration is classified as felony extortion.
