A professor at The Ohio State University claims that sextortion led to him murdering his wife. Again, just leave and let the relationship be over--you don't have to murder them!

We talk about stuff like this all the time on Dave & Chuck The Freak. People murder their partners when they want to leave them instead of just ending the relationship. It seemingly happens all the time! You don't have to do that! I know leaving is hard, and you might hurt them, but that doesn't mean you have to go to these lengths. Just be strong and end the relationship. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happen. According to ABC 6 On Your Side, James Hill, the former Ohio State professor, allegedly murdered his wife before attempting to kill himself and his dog.

ABC 6 On Your Side reports that he had exchanged nude photos with a woman he met on a dating site and then she demanded $15k and threatened to expose him if he didn't comply. So, he felt the only option he had was to kill his wife and himself. Again, he had more options than that!

76-year-old Hill is now facing charges of premeditated aggravated murder and if convicted it could result in a life sentence. Read more about this incredibly darksided story from ABC 6 On Your Side here.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
