Her daughter doesn’t want to see her, Manhattan prosecutors say.
Still, Louise Meanwell — the accused extorting ex-mistress of Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman — is asking a Manhattan judge to lift the order of protection barring her from any contact with the Rensselaer County teenager.
The 15-year-old girl is neither a victim nor a witness in the extortion case, her lawyer, Lawrence LaBrew, argues in papers asking that the new Cashman extortion case judge, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Daniel FitzGerald, hear arguments on the matter next week.
Meanwell, 37, was in tears when she signed the protection order last summer, as a condition of bail.
“I had direct contact today with the defendant’s daughter,” assistant district attorney Kenn Kern had said in July. “Sadly, she wants no contact with the defendant.”
The teen is Meanwell’s daughter by former husband Jason Bump, who is raising her upstate with his new wife.
Prosecutors have argued that Bump has maintained sole legal and physical custody of the girl since September of ’03, though judges in 2006 and 2008 have granted Meanwell limited visits.
