It was supposed to be a secret. That was the point of using the adultery-enabling website AshleyMadison.com, a Boca Raton doctor testified Tuesday.
But after he told Debbie O'Flaherty-Lewis that there would be no repeat performance of their sexual encounter, the doctor said, she threatened to expose his infidelity to his wife and family – unless he paid off her $7,000 credit card bill.
O'Flaherty-Lewis, 48, faces 15 years in prison if convicted of extortion. Her trial began Tuesday before Broward Circuit Judge John Patrick Contini.
The alleged victim's family still doesn't know what happened.
