A judge ordered Stevie Wonder's cousin to stand trial on an extortion charge after hearing testimony that the man and his girlfriend attempted to sell a film ranting against the singer's treatment of his family for millions of dollars.

The pair has been jailed since May 2, when they were arrested during a sting organized by Wonder's attorney and Los Angeles police.

The pair was given a 10,000 down payment on a $500,000 agreement to hand over the film footage and keep its contents confidential.
