UPDATE: '19 Kids and Counting' Extortion Plot

The woman who claimed to have compromising photos revealing an alleged affair of a cast member on TLC's reality series 19 Kids and Counting has pleaded guilty to attempted extortion.

Hunt was arrested in February after she apparently sent TLC executives letters demanding that they either cancel 19 Kids and Counting or pay her $10,000 in exchange for her not releasing photos to a tabloid of Amy Duggar and a 56-year-old musician that supposedly depicted "intimate situations."
