O.R.C. 2905.11 defines extortion as a third-degree felony in the state of Ohio. As mentioned above, because these accusations are so often just one facet of organized crime cases, these matters tend to be complex and, if not properly handled, result in compounded penalties for the accused.
A third-degree felony in Ohio can result in:
One to five years in prison
Up to $10,000 in fines
