Brothers Samuel and Samson Okoshie have been sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison for their part in a sextortion scheme that led to the death of 17-year-old Jordan DeMay of Michigan.
The Okoshi brothers used the women’s stolen and fake accounts to contact potential victims and probed the victims’ personal details to gain more control over them. Jordan DeMay was one of more than 100 victims. After receiving the photos, the brothers demanded money from the boy and threatened to spread the images among friends and relatives. The guy sent $300, but the criminals didn’t stop him when he expressed his desire to end his life by suicide, and soon after that he committed suicide.
Jordan Demey’s death is a stark reminder of the dangers of sextortion. Although the Okoshi brothers were severely punished, the DeMay tragedy raised awareness of online fraud and highlighted the importance of protecting personal data in the digital world.
