Stevie Wonder's Nephew In Court For Extorting Singer

Stevie Wonder's Nephew In Court For Extorting Singer
6/24/2012 9:31 PM ET

Stevie Wonder's nephew is in some hot water as he appeared in court on Tuesday for potentially extorting the singer.

Alpha Lorenzo Walker, 38, and his girlfriend Tamara Eileen Diaz, 38, both are facing charges of felony extortion of money and other property from Wonder by "means of force and threat."

Both Walker and Diaz were arrested on May 2 by undercover Los Angeles Police Department officers. The two were arrested after they threatened to reveal embarrassing information about Wonder unless he paid them a high amount of money. It was said that Walker was going to tell the tabloids that he was actually Wonder's son born out of an incestuous relationship between Wonder and his sister.

At first Walker and Diaz were demanding $5 million from Wonder, but later it was reported their price dropped down to $10,000.
