3. Did they put an order of protection out for his family as well? I know it says he has to stay away from Dave, but what about his family? It is pretty scary with people like that out there, you never know what they are capable of.

Why did the judge say that everything will stay the same thru the end of the year? What circumstances could change his mind after that?

6. It was odd how he told the audienece . Talk about awkward. I hope there's no more to it. He's another sleezebag in a suit. CBS should investigate the situation. The guy who did it must have been desperate. I hope he has some support and a good lawyer.

7. A crime is a crime and this guy needs to face the judge. Funny though, but Dave has made many jokes about people who have far less than he has done with his own staff. If he doesn't like that jokes that will be made about him, he ought to just stuff up his top ten!!

8. It's none of our business who Dave has slept with. It was pretty courageous of him to take a stand and just put it all out there instead of paying the guy off. It's shocking that a producer of such a prestigious show would try to blackmail someone, especially someone of Dave's stature.

9. Halderman is a total idiot! He might get 15 years!

10. He handled himself very professionally. This was his business and no one else's. He was forced into disclosing something very personal that had no reason to be disclosed. We don't even know when and for how long these liaisons took place. Maybe they occurred before his marriage; maybe before he moved in with his now wife. If these relationships constituted a breach of CBS' human resources policies, then CBS can take action. However, right now they are staying mum, probably because nothing has been done that was off-side. If the posters here really feel that any man who has sex with any woman is sleazy then I worry for your sex lives.

11. What is the deal here - don't the readers research before they make these crazy statements? First of all - I can't speak to everything that was in this guys extortion packet but the primary focus was an ex-assistant of Dave's {Stephanie)who has been gone from the show for a long time. Most important until very recently she was the live-in girlfriend of this blackmailer but she left him. In any case, Dave broke it off with her before Harry was born - long before he was married. And yes - Dave did date Regina for 23 years but they were on again off again and not in a committed relationship. These facts do make Dave a "perfect" guy but it also doesn't make him a pervert. Get serious.

12. Bad boy, bad boy. What you 'gonna do; what you 'gonna do when they come for you?

13. What a moron this guy is. Did he honestly think he'd get away with such a plan? Either his ego is massive, or the dude's moral compass is stuck on self-destruct. And stupid.

As for Letterman, is anyone really surprised he sleeps around? He's publicly stated that he got married because his son was asking questions and wanted his parents to be married. Apparently the kids at school were asking questions. Obviously, it's an open marriage. Or, half of the marriage is open anyway.

It's interesting how many women will turn their heads the other way when their men cheat on them. Guess all that money and the nice life are a tradeoff for Letterman's wife's self-respect. Obviously she tolerates her husband having sex with multiple other women. Hope she has a generous allowance and an AmEx Black to compensate.

Whatever.

15. This extortion bid is really odd. Who takes a check? You'd think it would have been done to a secret bank account in Switzerland or the Cayman Islands, or in cash.

Something is fishy about how this thing has gone down. Maybe David set this guy up so it would look like a failed extortion bid? Is it possible this producer was working on something, Letterman got wind of it, and tried to nip it in the bud by pretending to want to buy it off the guy?

For a producer of a major network of a TV show like 48 hours, he didn't seem to understand how easily he'd get caught cashing a check. There's more to this story, methinks.
