thanks for the lengthier description, "extortion" was a word I was looking for, though in retrospect "blackmail vs..." probably had me covered (lmgtf-myself) https://legalclarity.org/extortion-versus-blackmail-the-core-differences/ https://legalclarity.org/extortion-versus-blackmail-the-core... Reading a few of these, it seems like extortion is specific to obtaining property. Blackmail by contrast is "money or something of value" and is rather flexible in the method applied. There are a host of other words for other specific situations too.
