Robert Halderman, the former CBS producer who attempted to extort David Letterman over the late night host’s sex scandal, is starting a six-month stint in jail.

He was led out of a Manhattan court in handcuffs today, having been sentenced to incarceration and 1,000 hours of community service.

Halderman pleaded guilty to charges that he’d demanded $2 million from Letterman in exchange for silence on what he knew about the comedian’s affairs. Halderman was involved with one-time Letterman employee-paramour Stephanie Birkitt.
