Federal prosecutors only described the athlete in court as "the victim." Court papers referred only to a "John Doe" in accusing George Edwards, 48, of extortion for allegedly seeking money for silence about the player supposedly impregnating Edwards' daughter. Belliard's agent, Dominic Torres, confirmed that Belliard was the player at the center of the extortion case and provided this statement: An affidavit by FBI Special Agent Dustin Sorrells said this about the case: George Edwards admitted to hatching the scheme in court documents and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry to one year and one day in prison. It was less than the recommended range of 21 to 27 months, based on Edwards' past criminal convictions. Perry said she considered the case's unusual circumstances.
