Husband cheated. Is it illegal for me to send threatening text messages to San Xiao asking for money?

Subjectively, this matter has direct intention and must have the purpose of illegally extorting other people's property. If the actor does not have this purpose, or the purpose of asking for property is not illegal, for example, the creditor uses threatening language to repay the overdue debt and urges the debtor to speed up the repayment, it does not constitute the crime of extortion.

Criminal law:

Article 274 Whoever extorts or extorts public or private property in a relatively large amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance; If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.

Judicial interpretation:

Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on the determination standard of the amount of extortion (May 2000 18);

According to the provisions of Article 274 of the Criminal Law, the standards for determining the amount of the crime of extortion are as follows:

First, extortion of public and private property "a large amount", starting from one thousand yuan to three thousand yuan;

Two, extortion of public and private property "huge", the starting point is 1 10 thousand yuan to 30 thousand yuan.

The higher people's courts of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government may, according to the actual situation in the region, study and determine the specific amount standards for the crime of extortion in the region, and report it to the Supreme People's Court for the record.
