Darts player blackmailer jailed for one year

A 26-year-old man who is alleged to have tried to blackmail darts champion Raymond van Barneveld over a sex tape has been jailed for 18 months, six suspended, by a court in The Hague.


The court said Cristopher P was guilty of making threatening phone calls to Van Barneveld’s home but said there is not enough evidence that the former world champion had been blackmailed, the Telegraaf reports.
