British woman accused of blackmailing New York Yankees manager However, Mr Cashman claims that Miss Meanwell, who also used the name Louise Neathway, is a "stalker" who invented the pregnancy claims and then tried to extort money from him by threatening to go to the press. Mr Cashman said he called police after she pestered him with phone calls, texts and emails, including an ultrasound picture she claimed was their unborn child. The court heard that Miss Meanwell has a history of stalking and harassment. Thirteen people have filed restraining orders against her. They include former boyfriends, her ex-husband, her former mother-in-law and Mr Cashman's wife. Former partners have told the US media of campaigns of harassment and extortion that Miss Meanwell allegedly carried out against them. Prosecutors say she extorted $50,000 from one man. Miss Meanwell moved to the US from England around 15 years ago. She claims she met Mr Cashman in 2006 through a charity and the pair began a relationship in April last year before she fell pregnant in June. In an affidavit filed with the court this week, she says that Mr Cashman was "unnerved" when told about the pregnancy and added that he "informed me that if I were to continue the pregnancy he would want nothing to do with me or the child." The affidavit, seen by the New York Daily News, added: "When I informed Mr Cashman that I decided to terminate the pregnancy, he demanded that I provide him with two passport size photographs so he could obtain a fake ID. Not only did Mr Cashman obtain a fake ID for me in the name of Rosalita Gonzalez, he also took care in finding a clinic to provide the abortion service and car service for me on the day of the procedure. Mr Cashman provided emotional support and was quite decent to me in the days after the procedure. However, Mr Cashman seemed to struggle with his religious convictions in opposing abortion yet being party to a pregnancy that was terminated. Miss Meanwell is charged with grand larceny and aggravated harassment. A spokesman for Mr Cashman told the newspaper that the claims were "more fiction from an individual a grand jury has charged with fraud harassment and lying." Mr Cashman split up with his wife of 16 years after allegations of his affair first surfaced earlier this year.
