>Trevor told Jonny Robb to stop posting about his behavior towards women, and in exchange he would give him $500,000.

IANAL, but how is that not entrapment? Or even if it wasn't entrapment, how is it different than signing a NDA/non-disparagement contract?

>possession of a controlled substance (weed + mushrooms in his car)

okay that's just dumb.

As a rule, coercion by offering money will never qualify as entrapment. The courts consider refusing money to be “too easy”, so to speak. An example of entrapment would instead be a threat of prosecution against your child unless you do some illegal act, or something else with a similarly more nefarious coercive force.

because Trevor told the police that Jonny had told him "give me money or i'm going to post untrue information about you to ruin your reputation". The info turned out to be true, which makes me doubt him recounting that Jonny brought up the idea of a pay off.

So Trevor fabricated evidence to fool the police? That's a far more serious offense than the sexual misconduct, and frankly it's hard to believe he could pull that off, unless he managed to bribe the police. Johnny's probably not completely innocent - they can both be scumbags.

when you're a billionaire you have certain influence, and people have told me that LDS members tend to look out for their own. Trevor made a large donation to the people that helped with the arrest after. I can't remember if it was the police or the attorney or both.
