Michigan football player’s Nigerian scammers pay price for teen's sextortion suicide

A Michigan judge on Thursday sentenced Nigerian brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi to serve 17½ years in prison for their respective roles in a sextortion scheme that victimized 100 individuals and led to Michigan teenager Jordan DeMay's suicide in 2022.

"I think, at the end of the day, this case is a testament to what we can do as a country and put some validity to what's really happening online to young people," Jordan's father, John DeMay, told Fox News Digital. "It shows people that [sextortion] is real. I think that's the most important part of the sentence. That was the last piece of this puzzle … that says, ‘Hey, this is a legitimate claim.’"
