The parents of a Michigan teenager who killed himself after being targeted in an online sextortion scam have welcomed the prison sentences of more than 17 years each handed down to two Nigerian brothers who blackmailed the boy.
Jordan DeMay, 17, died in March 2022 after sending nude photographs of himself to somebody he thought was a girl who had befriended him on social media. The recipients instead were Samuel and Samson Ogoshi, who were operating a hacked Instagram account and demanded $1,000 from the teenager after threatening to send the images to his friends and family.
