https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...teen-rcna99795Jordan DeMay, a student at Marquette Senior High School, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 25, 2022, after he was contacted by an Instagram account that appeared to be from a woman with the username ?dani.robertts,? Fox News Digital reported.
But the account had been hacked and sold to Samuel Ogoshi, a 22-year-old Nigerian who allegedly used the profile to force young men into sending him explicit images of themselves, according to the news outlet.
?I can send this nudes to everyone and also send your nudes Until it goes viral,? Ogoshi allegedly messaged DeMay after the teen sent an explicit photo of himself.
Ogoshi demanded $1,000, but the boy sent $300, leading the Nigerian man to allegedly threaten to send the explicit image to his family and friends if he did not send additional money, according to Fox News.
In a rare move, the Justice Department extradited two Nigerian men over the weekend to face charges in a sexual extortion scheme that authorities say prompted the suicide last year of a 17-year-old Michigan high school student.
Samuel Ogoshi, 22, and his younger brother Samson Ogoshi, 20, of Lagos, were flown to the U.S. Sunday and are expected in federal court in Grand Rapids on Monday afternoon, the Justice Department said. They are charged in a four-count indictment with the sexual exploitation of minors and with causing the death of Jordan DeMay, 17, who was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in March 2022 after the defendants allegedly tricked him into sending explicit photos of himself and threatened to share them with friends and family. Samuel faces a minimum sentence of 30 years in prison if convicted, and Samson faces a minimum sentence of five years.
