Three Nigerian men living in Lagos have been charged in the d£ath of one Jordan DeMay, a 17-year-old boy from Michigan, USA, who ended it all because he was blackm@iled with a n@ked picture.
The men who are awaiting extradition to the U.S., have been identified as Samuel Ogoshi, 22, Samson Ogochi, 20, and Ezekiel Ejehem Robert, 19.
U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Michigan, Mark Totten on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, announced the unsealing of a federal indictment charging the three Nigerians with s£xually ext%rting numerous young men and teenage boys in the Western District of Michigan and across the United States.
“On March 25, 2022, 17-year-old DeMay was found d£ad from a self-infl¥cted g¥nshot wound. His d€ath prompted an investigation by the Marquette County Sheriff’s Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which culminated in the indictment unsealed today.
S+xtortion is a horr¥ble crime that can leave especially younger victims feeling ash@med with nowhere to turn.
My heart goes out to the family of Jordan DeMay. Nothing can bring Jordan back, but my office is committed to securing justice and, alongside Jordan’s family, sending an urgent warning so others can protect themselves and their families. We will travel the world to hold the perpetrators of these crimes accountable,” Totten said.
The three suspects are accused of buying h@cked social media accounts and using them to pose as girls while interacting with boys. The chats were s£xual in nature and designed to lure the teenage boys into sending n¥de photos of themselves, officials said.
Once the men had started chatting with a boy, they would research his school, hometown, and family members. They would ask for s€xually explicit images and then place those images into collages including non-s£xual images taken from social media…(continue reading from next slide)
