What South Carolina law says about Extortion
Extortion is a serious offense. It is a felony charge in South Carolina. This means that if you’re found guilty of extortion then you could face up to 10 years in prison. A judge may also levy a $5,000 fine and restitution along with the prison sentence. Since it is a felony offense, your constitutional rights will be curtailed.
Having a criminal record means that this charge and conviction will show up permanently if a background check is made.
