2006 New York Code - Coercion In The Second Degree.

 
  § 135.60 Coercion in the second degree.
    A person is guilty of coercion in the second degree when he compels or
  induces a person to engage in conduct which the latter has a legal right
  to  abstain  from engaging in, or to abstain from engaging in conduct in
  which he has a legal right to engage, by means of instilling  in  him  a
  fear  that,  if  the  demand  is not complied with, the actor or another
  will:
    1. Cause physical injury to a person; or
    2. Cause damage to property; or
    3. Engage in other conduct constituting a crime; or
    4. Accuse some person of a crime  or  cause  criminal  charges  to  be
  instituted against him; or
    5.  Expose  a  secret  or  publicize an asserted fact, whether true or
  false, tending to subject some person to hatred, contempt  or  ridicule;
  or
    6.  Cause  a  strike,  boycott  or other collective labor group action
  injurious to some person's business; except that such a threat shall not
  be deemed coercive when the act or omission compelled is for the benefit
  of the group in whose interest the actor purports to act; or
    7. Testify or provide information or withhold testimony or information
  with respect to another's legal claim or defense; or
    8. Use or abuse his position as a public servant  by  performing  some
  act  within or related to his official duties, or by failing or refusing
  to perform an official duty, in such manner as  to  affect  some  person
  adversely; or
    9.  Perform any other act which would not in itself materially benefit
  the actor but which is calculated to harm another person materially with
  respect to his health,  safety,  business,  calling,  career,  financial
  condition, reputation or personal relationships.
    Coercion in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.
