October 02, 2009, (Sawf News) - One of his female staffers that David Letterman had a sexual affair with is Stephanie Birkitt, according to he search warrant obtained by FOX 5 New York.
Birkitt, Letterman's former assistant, was till recently living with Robert J. Halderman, the 48 Hours producer charged with attempted grand larceny for allegedly threatening to expose Letterman's sexual relationships with his female staffers.
The package that Halderman allegedly sent to Letterman 3 weeks ago, while initiating his blackmail attempt, containing "supporting materials" included copies of excerpts from Birkitt's diary and her correspondence, according to the search warrant.
Halderman told Letterman that he would publish a book with more incriminating details including photos, letters and emails.
Before the sting operation, Halderman met undercover agents twice, once on September 23 when he told them he would not divulge the contents of the diary in exchange for $2 million.
Recounting how the extortion attempt began, Letterman told his audience on Thursday that he found a package in his car as he got into it early morning three weeks ago.
An accompanying letter read:
"I know that you do some terrible, terrible things and that I can prove that you do some terrible things." He acknowledged the letter contained proof.
He recalled that the experience was terrifying "because there's something insidious about (it). Is he standing down there? Is he hiding under the car? Am I going to get a tap on the shoulder?"
He reported the threat to the Manhattan District Attorney's Special Prosecution Bureau.
A sting operation was planned and executed during which Letterman handed over a fake $2 million check to the extortionist, who was subsequently arrested.
