A 17-year-old girl who allegedly took part in a pornographic videotape with actor Rob Lowe reportedly bragged to friends that she planned to blackmail the star for $2 million. The statement was contained in a court affidavit filed last summer in Cobb County Superior Court, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution reported Wednesday. The girl’s mother filed a civil lawsuit in Fulton County on May 12 seeking unspecified civil damages from Lowe, and prosecutors are considering possible criminal charges against the 24-year-old Brat Pack star for exploitation of a minor. The girl was 16 at the time of the alleged incident, according to the filing. News reports have said the girl, who turned 17 in April, apparently met Lowe at a nightclub in Atlanta during last summer’s Democratic National Convention. Lowe’s public relations firm issued a statement Wednesday that Lowe, who starred in such movies as “About Last Night,” and “St. Elmo’s Fire,” “will have no comment until the matter is resolved.”
