Hunt, an Iowa photographer, attempted to extort $10,000 from TLC, the network behind "19 Kids And Counting," and tried to force the network to cancel the show.
Teresa Hunt claimed to have scandalous photos of the "rebellious" Amy Duggar, the cousin of "19 Kids" patriarch Jim Bob Duggar, that proved she was in a relationship with a much older man.
'His generosity has been exploited.'
Amy Duggar, 25, has vehemently denied Hunt's claims, slamming the would-be extortionist for her motives.

"It's totally untrue," the aspiring musician said in a statement. "James [the man in the photos] is a long time family friend who has always been supportive of my music career."
"He's a good Christian, and it's upsetting that his genorsity has been exploited like this."
Pictures 'Merely Harmless Snaps'
That Teresa Hunt had obtained photos of Duggar and family friend "James," and that she planned to use those photos to blackmail TLC, is undeniable.
But what was pictured in those incriminating photos, and what were Hunt's motives, besides cash, for the extortion plot?
Teresa Hunt contacted RadarOnline.com to try and sell the photographs before she moved against TLC, and editors there got a good look at the supposedly "intimate situations" between Amy Duggar and the 54-year-old "James."
But according to Radar, those photos didn't prove much of anything. In fact, the site declined to purchase them after reviewing the set, and claims to have had no contact with Hunt since.
"[The pictures] were merely harmless snaps rather than incriminating, damning photos," Radar Senior Reporter Alexis Tereszcuk wrote.
'... doing the nasty behind closed doors.'
