British woman accused of blackmailing New York Yankees manager

However, Mr Cashman claims that Miss Meanwell, who also used the name Louise
Neathway, is a “stalker” who invented the pregnancy claims and
then tried to extort money from him by threatening to go to the press.

Mr Cashman said he called police after she pestered him with phone calls,
texts and emails, including an ultrasound picture she claimed was their
unborn child.

The court heard that Miss Meanwell has a history of stalking and harassment.
Thirteen people have filed restraining orders against her. They include
former boyfriends, her ex-husband, her former mother-in-law and Mr Cashman’s
wife.

Former partners have told the US media of campaigns of harassment and
extortion that Miss Meanwell allegedly carried out against them.

Prosecutors say she extorted $50,000 from one man.

Miss Meanwell moved to the US from England around 15 years ago. She claims she
met Mr Cashman in 2006 through a charity and the pair began a relationship
in April last year before she fell pregnant in June.

In an affidavit filed with the court this week, she says that Mr Cashman was “unnerved”
when told about the pregnancy and added that he “informed me that if I
were to continue the pregnancy he would want nothing to do with me or the
child.”

The affidavit, seen by the New York Daily News, added: “When I informed
Mr Cashman that I decided to terminate the pregnancy, he demanded that I
provide him with two passport size photographs so he could obtain a fake ID.

“Not only did Mr Cashman obtain a fake ID for me in the name of Rosalita
Gonzalez, he also took care in finding a clinic to provide the abortion
service and car service for me on the day of the procedure.

“Mr Cashman provided emotional support and was quite decent to me in the
days after the procedure.

“However, Mr Cashman seemed to struggle with his religious convictions in
opposing abortion yet being party to a pregnancy that was terminated.”
Miss Meanwell is charged with grand larceny and aggravated harassment.

A spokesman for Mr Cashman told the newspaper that the claims were “more
fiction from an individual a grand jury has charged with fraud harassment
and lying”.

Mr Cashman split up with his wife of 16 years after allegations of his affair
first surfaced earlier this year.
