A former high school classmate of Carl Pavano has been accused of trying to extort money and a luxury SUV from the Twins pitcher. According to a police filing, Pavano's sister, Michelle DeGennaro, said Christian Bedard of Southington, Conn., was "attempting to extort monetary funds for his fabricated, false information" and that he believes he can hold the Pavano family "hostage" with the information. Bedard told the Record-Journal of Meriden, Conn., which first reported the story, that he had an "emotional and physical relationship" with Pavano for three years while they were in high school. The filing says he threatened to reveal the alleged relationship and to write a book about it unless Pavano apologized to him and bought him a Range Rover.
