Nigerian Brothers Sentenced for Sextortion Leading to Michigan Teen's Suicide

Samuel and Samson Ogoshi receive 17½ years in prison for their roles in an international sextortion scheme targeting over 100 victims.

The Ogoshis extorted minors by posing as women on social media, demanding money in exchange for not releasing explicit images.
Jordan DeMay, a 17-year-old from Michigan, took his life after being blackmailed by the Ogoshis in March 2022.
This case marks the first time Nigerian sextortion scammers have been extradited and sentenced in the U.S.
Authorities emphasize the growing threat of sextortion, urging caution with sharing personal images online.
The FBI reported over 13,000 cases of online financial sextortion involving minors between October 2021 and March 2023.
