A Georgia woman and a Michigan man were involved in an online relationship after exchanging messages through social media. She also shared sexually explicit photos of herself, according to federal investigators.

But Erica Jean Freeman demanded cash in return, and plenty of it, or she threatened to publicize the man's online activities.

On Tuesday, Freeman, who referred to herself on Twitter as a dominatrix, was arrested at her Fairburn home. She remains in federal custody.
