Things aren’t looking good for former Republican politico Richard Curtis’ rent boy, Cody Castagna:

Police issued arrest warrants Wednesday for four men accused of trying to extort money from a former state legislator who resigned his post after an affair with one of the accused became public.

Spokane County prosecutors contend in court documents that Cody Castagna and three others attempted to blackmail former Rep. Richard Curtis in October. Castagna turned himself in to authorities Wednesday night.

I’m not going to run, I have nothing to hide,” Cody Castagna told KREM-TV as he arrived at the Spokane County Courthouse with his attorney and a bailbondsman.

[His attorney] told The Spokesman-Review newspaper he would fight the charges against his client, and that the money his client sought from Curtis was not “extortion money. It was prostitution money.”

That’s far more respectable, of course.

Curtis, meanwhile, faces no charges.
