John Travolta on Extortion Case: Time to Put this Matter Behind Us

John Travolta is opening up to ET about the "heavy emotional toll" on his family that led him to decide not to continue pursuing the case against the two Bahamas individuals accused of attempting to extort money from him following the 2009 death of his son Jett.

Travolta tells ET: “I am grateful and appreciative of the dedication, hard work and support provided by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Royal Bahamas Police Force while handling matters associated with the attempted extortion that targeted my family in January of 2009. 

"Throughout the investigation and prosecution, my staff and I remained fully supportive of all requests for assistance from law enforcement representatives even though this cooperation was at a great emotional cost to my family.
