NIGERIAN GANG ARRESTED – Crime Online

What began as an investigation into the suicide of a popular high school athlete uncovered an international sextortion ring.

On Twitter, Jordan Demay received a message from a user named Dani Roberts, who persuaded him to send explicit photos. Moments later, the situation turned dire. “Dani Roberts” demanded money and threatened to send the photos to Jordan's family and friends if he didn't comply. Jordan sent all of his money, but the demands continued. Six hours later, Jordan Demay took his own life.

A few days after Jordan's death, his girlfriend received one of his revealing photos and went to the police. Marquette County Sheriff's detectives, working with the FBI, were able to trace the IP address of “Dani Roberts” to Nigeria. Three Nigerian men – Ezekiel Robert and brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi – have been linked to Jordan's case and over 100 other victims.

Five U.S. citizens are now accused of facilitating the sextortion scams, processing payments from victims and transferring the money to Nigeria. Prosecutors allege the defendants laundered nearly $200,000 for the scammers.
