"Hang over (one's) head" = Treo lơ lửng trên đầu -> Chỉ điều khiến bạn lo lắng/bận tâm liên miên và kéo dài.

He reported the incident to police, who are treating it as a case of attempted extortion (tống tiền). Toronto police confirmed to CBC that the force is investigating, but that the probe (dò xét, thăm dò) is only "in its infancy (thời kỳ vị thành niên)." Baran-Chong said he hasn't paid the ransom to prevent his intimate videos from being released. They haven't been sent to anyone he knows. But he fears they will be, one day.

The charges, each of which carry possible seven-year jail sentences, relate to Pravit’s critical commentary on Thailand’s military rule. Pravit recently told CPJ that these spurious (giả mạo, không xác thực) complaints “continue to hang over my head.” As prime minister, you have the power and authority to fix that.
