2 Nigerian men accused of running a global ‘sextortion’ ring linked to a teen’s suicide have been extradited to US, officials say ( www.cnn.com )

According to prosecutors, Samuel Ogoshi used a hacked social media account to make contact with DeMay while pretending to be a young woman. After persuading DeMay to provide a sexually explicit photo of himself, Ogoshi allegedly threatened to publicly release the image unless DeMay paid the scammers.

DeMay paid Ogoshi $300, but Ogoshi demanded more, authorities said.

After DeMay wrote that he was going to kill himself, Ogoshi allegedly responded, “Do that fast, or I’ll make you do it,” Totten said.

DeMay died by suicide on March 25, 2022, prosecutors said.
