John Stamos released the following statement:
“I would like to thank the court, the FBI and the US Attorney’s office for their swift and efficient dealings in connection with this case.
"I am shocked and perplexed how individuals could fabricate so many false stories in an effort to defend a crime. I agreed to be a witness for a federal criminal prosecution and endured countless false accusations about my behavior and appropriateness. The allegations made regarding an inappropriate relationship are completely untrue. These slanderous allegations to smear my reputation were part of their defense to redirect attention away from the federal crime of extortion. There was no hot tub, no drugs, no nudity and nothing sexual in nature involved in my friendship with this woman. They lied about everything from a pregnancy to compromising photos.
"I'm grateful these two criminals have been found guilty and I plan to go home to be with my family and friends and prepare to get back to work.”
