blackmail isn’t always the best way to go

Former Manchester City youth goalkeeper Ashley Timms, 22, has successfully found that new home he had been blackmailing an unnamed international soccer player for. Unfortunately, instead of having three bedrooms, two baths, an eat-in-kitchen, a living room with a large fireplace, hardwood floors and a fenced in backyard for his dog, it’s got three walls, bunk beds, a urinal, a window with bars and an open view to the cell across the way. Yes, the British dream come true.

Timms has been sentenced to twenty months in the slammer after pleading guilty to blackmail last month. He had texted his soccer player pal (his name has not been released but plays in the Premier League) multiple times threatening to put a sex tape he recorded on his cell phone on YouTube unless he was paid 15,000 Pounds. The quality must be insane! The amateur filmmaking happened at the player’s home last September and involved a 19 year old girl. Well at least she was legal. Timms later tried to use the tape and photos he also claimed to have taken as a bargaining tool to help secure enough money to purchase a home after his soccer career went south.

Timms now claims he destroyed the video footage.

Watch out Ashley, because the popo are on your tail!
