Two suspects linked to an international sextortion ring that allegedly drove a Michigan high-schooler to take his own life have been extradited from Nigeria to the United States. Samuel Ogoshi and Samson Ogoshi, along with a third co-defendant, are accused of blackmailing young men and teenage boys by convincing them to send explicit photos online and then threatening to expose the images unless they paid money or engaged in sexual acts.
The case gained widespread attention after one of their victims, Jordan DeMay, tragically ended his life after being targeted by the suspects. This devastating incident serves as a reminder of the dangers that lurk online and the urgent need for increased vigilance in protecting oneself and others from such heinous crimes.
The authorities have charged the suspects with conspiracy to sexually exploit minors, distribute child pornography, and commit stalking through the internet. This highlights the severity of their actions and the potential harm they have caused to numerous individuals. The rise in sextortion crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic has been alarming, as perpetrators exploit the vulnerabilities and insecurities of their victims who may be seeking connection and validation in an increasingly digital world. It is crucial for everyone to exercise caution when interacting online, especially when sharing sensitive information or engaging in intimate conversations.
“Here was three Nigerian men that conspired from across the planet, and came into my house in the middle of night while I was sleeping, and murdered my son,” Jordan’s father, John, said back in May.
The tragic suicide of Jordan DeMay serves as a painful reminder of the devastating consequences that can arise from these types of crimes. His untimely death has sparked outrage and calls for justice, bringing attention to the urgent need for stronger measures to combat sextortion and protect vulnerable individuals. The impact on his family, friends, and community cannot be overstated, as they grapple with the profound loss caused by these heartless acts.
In light of this case, it is essential that we educate ourselves and others about the dangers of sextortion and take proactive steps to safeguard our online presence. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children offers support and resources for those who have been victimized or are at risk of falling prey to such crimes. It is vital to report any suspicious activities or threats to the appropriate authorities, as swift action can help prevent further harm and bring perpetrators to justice.

As Samuel Ogoshi and Samson Ogoshi make their appearance in court to face the charges against them, it is our hope that justice will be served for Jordan DeMay and all the victims who have suffered at the hands of this sextortion ring. This case serves as a stark reminder that no one should have to endure such torment and that we must work together to create a safer digital environment for everyone.
Let us honor Jordan’s memory by advocating for stricter laws, increased awareness, and stronger support systems for those affected by sextortion. Only through collective action can we hope to prevent future tragedies and protect the innocent from falling victim to these despicable crimes.
so, That proves The Us can track down these sex traffickers if need be. All these black children are missing in the United States and not one of them haven’t been found. But soon as a white kid commits suicide because of sextortion they hurry up and find them. All kids should be treated the same regardless of race.
