After Michigan teen's suicide, Nigerian brothers plead guilty to planning deadly sextortion scheme
Fox News
Nigerian brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi pleaded guilty for conspiring to extort minors on Wednesday, two years after Michigan teen Jordan DeMay died by suicide.
Jordan DeMay was 17 years old when Samuel Ogoshi, 22, and his brother, Samson Ogoshi, 20, both of Nigeria, posed as a woman on Instagram using a hacked account and struck up a conversation with the teenager, ultimately blackmailing him into sending money and threatening him for more until he took his own life in March 2022.

"Today’s guilty pleas represent an extraordinary success in the prosecution of international sextortion," U.S. Attorney Mark Totten for the Western District of Michigan said in a Wednesday statement. "These convictions will send a message to criminals in Nigeria and every corner of the globe: working with our partners both here and overseas, we can find you and we can bring you to justice."
