Chris Andersen's attorney, Colin Bresee, has stated that the player known as "Birdman," has been targeted as part of an extortion plot by a female fan who was rebuffed by Andersen in 2011. Bresee released the following statement, "A female fan in 2010 mailed Mr. Andersen multiple letters and included several photos in which she was scantily clad. Chris and this woman communicated with each other and in 2011, this woman, who represented herself as 21 years of age, flew to Colorado, showing her required identification. After leaving Colorado, she became upset at his lack of interest. In 2012, she threatened to retaliate if he did not provide financial remuneration." This helps to explain the recent disturbing child pornography charges brought against Andersen and although the case is still ongoing, it shows a little more into what is going on in the case.
