No photos please
Christian Century, Jan 10, 2006
NO PHOTOS PLEASE: Taking photos is forbidden among the Amish, and photos got Amishman Jake Byler of Ohio into trouble. A 70-something widower, Byler had engaged the services of a prostitute, who, along with her boyfriend, extorted $67,000 from him by threatening to put photos of him engaging in the illicit act on the Internet.
When Byler's bank and his own family members started to raise questions about his financial dealings, Byler confessed his sin. Byler cooperated with the authorities, who videotaped Byler making a payment to his extortioners. Eventually, the prostitute, her boyfriend and several accomplices were indicted for extortion, theft and burglary (Plain Dealer, December 14).
