| Jennifer Gaubert |
Authorities say a former radio talk host who in August
accused a taxi driver of shooting lewd video footage of her in an extortion
scheme made up the story, and charges against the cabbie have been dropped.
32-year-old Jennifer Gaubert, a New Orleans lawyer who at one point hosted
her own radio show on WGSO 990 AM, has been charged by the Orleans Parish
district attorney's office with filing false statements concerning denial of
constitutional rights, stemming from her complaint to police that she was
filmed without her permission while in a cab in April 2012.
In an August interview with NOLA.com,
Gaubert said she was intoxicated when she was in the cab. She said she had
openly discussed her local notoriety with the cabdriver, which she said made
her a target.
Gaubert said in the interview she had flirted with Farrell,
38, and kissed him, but told police she never gave him permission to film.She
told police that Farrell shot video of underneath her skirt, exposing her
underwear and genitals to the camera.
Gaubert told police, saying Farrell sent a message
threatening to release the video unless she gave him $1,000. Bowman wouldn't
comment on Gaubert's charge, citing the pending case.
Arraignment is set for next week.
