She actually gave him one. He said he felt pretty bad about it but it was obvious that she was pretty much a tramp.
He should feel pretty bad it's sextortion and it's a serious crime. Whether he was joking or not the fact that she complied does not obviously make her a tramp it means she was coerced into performing a sexual act for fear of the threat of something terrible happening. It's sick and depraved and it is no different than any other form of gender-based violence against women. It's no different than when teachers coerce sex acts from students in exchange for fair grades, no different than when landlords demand sex in lieu of rent, no different than when judges extort sex in exchange for favorable custody decisions. It's the equivalent of putting a gun to a woman's head and requesting they provide you with a sexual favor in return for sparing their life. Consent cannot occur in a situation where the person is coerced, such as when they have a gun to their head, or are under threat of something terrible happening. Blackmail is a form of coercion. The guy you went to college with belongs in jail.
