Latest version.
  • In  any prosecution for coercion committed by instilling in the victim
      a fear that he or another person would be charged with a crime, it is an
      affirmative  defense  that  the  defendant   reasonably   believed   the
      threatened  charge to be true and that his sole purpose was to compel or
      induce the victim to take reasonable action to make good the wrong which
      was the subject of such threatened charge.
