"It should be interesting. Two possible outcomes.

If convicted of extortion she will likely go to prison to do some serious time. He has said he would donate any financial award from the court to a charity. He might also lose his job over the ickies even if he is found innocent of harrassment.

If O'Reilly is found guilty of Harrassment, he could get some punitive consequence from the court including millions in compensation and some community service or something. He would almost certainly lose his job."

Nope. She has not been charged by either the state or the fed with extortion. Only the state or the fed can charge you with a crime and put you in jail; Bill O'Reilly does not possess that authority. It is literally impossible for her to be convicted of extortion and sent to prison, given the present circumstances.

Also, the standard for extortion is whether she had a plausible legal basis for her demand, which would be easily met, since she has tapes of the conversations.
