Jeannie Richmond is the younger sister of tabloid journalist T.K. Richmond, who was extorting money form numerous famous people to benefit her. When T.K. crossed Barry Freeburg in such a way, Freeburg raped Jeannie to get T.K. to back off, then had his wife Beverly Tyson get her lover Frank Chess to kill T.K.
When the extortions were uncovered, Jeannie revealed Freeburg raping her, which led to a continued investigation in Freeburg's orchestration of T.K.'s murder. Freeburg was tricked into confessing on tape and was arrested. (CI: "Contract")
