Pleasant Bridgewater, the former Bahamas senator charged with conspiracy to extort $25 million from actor John Travolta after his son Jett died from a seizure on the island, has been bailed for $50,000.

Bridgewater is accused of plotting with an ambulance driver to demand the money in exchange for suppressing a document related to Jett's treatment.

She appeared in court in Nassau on Wednesday, but was not required to enter a plea.
