Mel Gibson has met with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to discuss his allegations ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva attempted to extort money from him.

Mel Gibson has met with detectives to discuss extortion claims against his ex-girlfriend.

The 54-year-old actor - who has been accused of domestic violence against Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his nine-month-old daughter Lucia - met with detectives on Sunday (25.07.10) to discuss claims the Russian singer tried to get money from him.

Mel has claimed Oksana only released explosive audio tapes - documenting their vicious arguments and the alleged attacks made by the Hollywood star - after he refused her apparent demands for cash.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore confirmed that detectives had met with Mel to discuss his allegations.

Whitmore explained: "It was not for the domestic violence investigation, it was just for the extortion." read more...
