Extortionist Caught in “Sting” Operation
Hines Ward, the all-time leading receiver for the Steelers, was the target of extortion. 26 year old Joshua Van Auker tried to extort $15,000 
from one of Hines Ward’s personal assistants. According to Allegheny County prosecuters, Van Auker threatened to release information stating that Ward had paid women for sex.
According the the Allegheny Prosecutor’s office, Hine’s assistant gave Van Auker the money he demanded. That money was provided by law enforcement.
Allegheny County detectives then arrested Van Auken. He is currently awaiting arraignment.
thats so funny…..as sexy as he is? pay for sex….please…..
I don’t think Hines would ever have to pay for sex. All he would have to do is flash those pearly whites and it would be all over but the dancing.
I completely agree with you

How disgusting — I hope the dude has the book thrown at him. I also hope he’s “currently awaiting arraignment” in JAIL!!
This Joshua is a JERK…He needs to go to jail and Extort…”Bubba”
C’mon, this is a Steeler we are talking about! Not a Cowboy… Steeler’s don’t treat women like that or they would have cheerleaders.
