Louisiana: Seth Dunlap, a radio show host for WWL, a subsidiary of Entercom, demanded $1.85 million to settle a discrimination lawsuit against his employer after a tweet was sent from the station that read “You’re a fag.” The broadcasting company hired a digital-forensic expert who says the IP address for the message was traced to Seth Dunlap’s own phone. If convicted of extortion, Dunlap could face 15 years in prison. He denies sending the message. -GEG
