The two people accused of attempting to extort millions from John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston after the death of their son Jett, pled not guilty in a Bahamian court on Tuesday.
Former Bahamian Senator Pleasant Bridgewater, who was charged with abatement to extort, and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne, who was charged with attempted extortion, were arraigned together, according to E! Online.
Various previous reports have alleged that the two claimed to have very personal information related to Jett’s death. They allegedly were seeking $25 million from the grieving family.
During today’s court proceeding, prosecutors also revealed they plan to call John Travolta as a key witness in the trial.
The case is set to begin on September 21.
