NASSAU, Bahamas - A paramedic who treated John Travolta's son in the Bahamas threatened to go to the media with private information unless the movie star paid $25 million, an employee of the actor testified Monday.

Ronald Zupancic, a security specialist for Travolta, said he was the one who told his boss of the alleged demand in the days following his autistic son's death in January.

He said ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne contacted Travolta's attorneys through a lawyer, former Bahamas Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater, who is also facing extortion charges.

"He had a document that he contended was incriminating to Travolta," Zupancic told the jury.

The document, which Travolta signed, would have cleared the ambulance driver of liability if the family refused to send 16-year-old Jett Travolta to the hospital. The actor testified last week that he initially wanted his son flown to Florida for treatment after a seizure on Jan. 2 that resulted in Jett's death.

But Jett was treated in the Bahamas, and it is unclear why the defendants allegedly believed Travolta would pay to keep the document private.

The trial began Sept. 21 and is expected to last several weeks. Travolta is expected to give further testimony later in the trial.

Exterior view of the district prison in Zurich, Switzerland, Monday, Sept. 28, 2009, where, local media claim, Polish-French director Roman Polanski is being held over a 1977 child sex case in Los Angeles. The international tug-of-war over Roman Polanski escalated Monday as France and Poland urged Switzerland to free the 76-year-old director on bail and pressed U.S. officials all the way up to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the case. Polanski, who pleaded guilty three decades ago to having sex with a 13-year-old girl, was arrested Saturday, when he arrived in Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich film festival. Polanski awaits a possible extradition to the United States.
