David Letterman’s extortionist did the crime, now he’ll do the time. Robert “Joe” Halderman, the former CBS News producer who copped to one count of attempted first-degree larceny, was sentenced today to six months in jail. Money-grubbing mistress of David Boreanaz , take note. Robert Halderman could’ve faced up to 15 years in lockup had the case gone to trial. Instead, his plea deal ensures he’ll serve no more than the half-year term. Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Charles Solomon also gave him four and a half years’ probation and ordered him to perform 1,000 hours of community service. Letterman blackmailer Halderman was snared in a sting operation . The 48 Hours Mystery producer was busted in October for trying to shake down Letterman for $2 million in return for keeping quiet about Dave’s affair with his former intern and Halderman’s then-live-in lover, Stephanie Birkitt . Owing thousands of dollars in child and spousal support to his ex-wife, Halderman approached him under the guise of selling a screenplay … to Dave’s own life. Rather than buying it to keep his liaisons a secret, Letterman blew the whistle, bluntly admitted on the air that he cheated on wife Regina Lasko, and moved on. Halderman’s moving on too … to the big house. Nice work, man!
