Teens pay attention here…if this happens to you tell your parents! This info comes out whether you are alive or dead so stay alive. A picture isn’t worth dying over.
😢 Exactly. That's what I have been telling my teens all the time: no matter how bad things go, no matter how much you mess up or make mistakes, come to us, we will take care of it together, there is nothing that can't be fixed. I am so sorry this young man had to go through this. My condolences to his family.😢😢
@@trailrunner925 but better than no justice at all. Some countries do not honor extradition with USA, and do not bother to do anything to seek justice against internet crime. The case of the Nigerian girl screaming that she was being killed, was not initially investigated due to no petrol in the police van, and the police saying that she is an adult who can go missing on her own and the video of her screaming meant nothing. Only her friend took it to social media and discovered it was a catfish setup with multiple female bodies in his yard.
My 16 year old son came to me in January to let me know he was being "blackmailed" aka sextorted online. The perpetrator (also from Nigeria) worked hard to gain my son's trust in a rather short period of time. All of the details surrounding this ordeal were exactly the same. It was one of the most terrifying experiences Ive endured as a parent. I will continue to thank God every single day that he came to me that afternoon. This is a silent epidemic destroying our teens and we must do everything we can to protect them.
God was protecting him . I can’t imagine how evil these. Slime are , especially to innocent children. There is a Hell . Tell your son he did the right thing . They are lowest of the low
Same thing happened to my daughter, she was 21 and terrified that it would ruin her future teaching career. We immediately hired attorneys, this was an American kid.
@@ThatGirlLiba kid took his own life, and the sad thing is what's haopeneing to "your dollar?" I thought US prisons were for profit companies, so their tax-drain is minimal.
The fact that they could find these scammers and get the extradited to the US makes me believe there is much more power they could show against the millions of scams, many against the elderly.
Not really difficult to find scammers. IP address are logged and easily traceable if they're as-is. Jordan was a minor and a US citizen. This gave the federal government extraterritorial jurisdiction; meaning the legal ability to pursue the crime overseas if they wanted to. Once the crime qualified for extraterritorial jurisdiction, this allowed federal and military to use assets to be used to locate exactly. Additionally, Nigeria is bound to an extradition by various international treaties for crimes against minors. The other scams you mentioned, like the elderly, don't have the legal element of minor to pursue such charges.
Oh, the US has super almost supernatural reach to get people if they want to. That’s where these guys messed up. This young kids’ family probably had some pull to make things happen. it makes you wonder how much power the United States really has. If they want to get you, they will. Maybe this will serve as a warning to some of these other Nigerian and other scammers to maybe not mess with United States citizens. Our government has resources at their disposal that they have no idea of.
I just wish young people would realize being embarrassed isn’t worth taking your life because now he is gone and everyone knows and no one blames or shames him… 😢
Even if he was shamed, it isn't worth taking your life over. Shame isn't terminal. We're all ashamed of something, and most of us are ashamed of our bodies.
I agree, but in the mind of a teenager, they can think of the big picture, all they see is that moment, and the what ifs. I remember being in that moment of embarrassment as a teen. I thought my life was over. But I got through it. But I couldn’t imagine going to school into todays world.
This happened to my grandson. How we found out he wanted to borrow money. This is disgusting that people from other countries can manipulate and terrorize our children. Glad they caught them.
This is the first case I'VE heard of where a criminal, from Nigeria or India, has been found and extradited to America. Thank you to the FBI for tracking them down, and thanks to these parents for sharing their story. I'm sure they have saved some lives by doing so. I hope they get a life sentence w/o parole or the death penalty. Who knows how many people have died from these scammers? To watch those criminals smiling is outrageous. These criminals will STILL send the pictures and videos to their schools, churches, and their high schools, as soon as they can't pay any more money to them. I've heard of many cases of suicides from young men and women taking their own lives from these horrific crimes, and bullies. If this happened to my son or daughter, I would read the texts, but not look at the pictures or videos, because I doubt it was just a dick picture. If Jordon was so shamed and embarrassed he took his own life, I doubt he would want his parents to see it.
As humiliated as he may have felt, it may have helped him to know that he was not the immoral criminal and he only made a mistake that many teens have made. He was a minor and could have had his name shielded or changed. Teens make rash decisions, and they should know this isn't rare and happens to many teens who manage to grow stronger afterward.
@danni1993 I am also referring to this case, and his case is no exception. Taking your own life is not easy where you just decide at spur of moment. This might have been a trigger point, but I like to know the predicament prior to this in his life. Did he have mental issues? Family history with mental disorders? How was his relationship with his parents? Was he ever abused physically or sexually? No one is disclosing anything but ready to pull the trigger on some strangers just avenge vendetta
@@mysteriousjz 🙄You're an overthinker, aren't you? Yes, suicide IS complicated. In fact, I've come very close to it myself...due to a neurological disease. I might get closer next time. Yes, you can ponder my predicament, 1) No family history. 2) No mental illness. 3) I was SA by a strange at 13. 4) I'm a scientist. 5) I have no debt. 6) What else would you like to know?
I am struck by how quickly authorities were able to track down, arrest, and extradite these predators. Sextortion, romance scams, financial theft, etc. are rampant. This is horrible for this family, but why is this so rarely pursued by law enforcement?
Because they don’t care about what these men are doing. The only reason this case is different is because it resulted in the death of another young man. This happens to girls all day every day.
It's not that it's not pursued. It's that they need the cooperation of the countries of which the scams are coming from. It seems like those countries are finally taking it seriously and making those people pay for their crimes and handing them over. There will be hundreds of other scammers to fill their shoes but I think more education in western countries, who are the primary targets, is what will make a real impact. Our school system needs to include all things social media and scams in regular learning now. It's a new part of life and we need to protect our kids.

This is awesome that one of these disgusting scammers are being held accountable. I hope this opens the floodgates! So many people, most elderly are scammed out of their life savings.
It's not that easy. Jordan was a minor and a US citizen. This gave the federal government extraterritorial jurisdiction; meaning the ability to pursue the crime overseas if they wanted to. Nigeria is also bound by various treaties to extradite with these crimes. Other scams aren't exclusive with the victims being minors.
Words cannot describe the level of evil that was embodied in the acts of these perpetrators. I’m shocked that they’re still alive in prison, honestly. This is absolutely sick.
They need to be charged for extortion and 2nd degree murder. No more, no less 🤷🏻♀️ Hopefully this will teach these scammers that we’re going after them and will face long-term incarceration.
There is probably no element of murder, even second degree, since it was never discussed by the suspects. If the suspects said, "Do it" after the victim said he was going to do it, then its possible to charge the suspects. The crimes of producing explicit minor material can have a very long sentence.
I’m so glad the victim will get justice. My heart breaks for this young man. I ask what about all the young women who took their lives because of the same from schoolmates. Society. We need to do better and hold people accountable. If you are a victim and are frightened. It’s NOT YOUR FAULT. Tell someone. Don’t be afraid to tell someone you trust.

Exactly ! And they cannot send sexual pictures on the internet . That’s child Pornography. They would get for jail time and no one is going to retrieve it . Just threats .
I wish I knew Jordan ,I would have helped him by supporting him. They tried this threat with my son. Thankfully my son told us and warned family members not to open any messages from them. He told them straight out his mistake. They need to get life in prison for all of these scammers.
How were they able to find these Nigerians for this crime but when it comes to scamming Millions upon Millions from Us online and over the phone they can't do anything?
I think it depends onIF the others finds out what they are charged for.. To be the person behind a child´s death is NOT a easy thing to sit behind bars for.. From what I have heard.
Social media needs to go away completely! How do people allow others control them through a device?! It's insane... Heart breaking for this young man sad story.
"Social media needs to go away completely! " - You're on social media at the moment. "How do people allow others control them through a device?! It's insane..." - It's called bad parenting.
@@Sam11747 yes I'm on social media but I'm an adult! Children shouldn't be allowed to have social media period! Not until they know what responsibility is. And 100% agree it's bad parenting.
@@robbiejohn91368 it may but children shouldn't have it anyways. Not until they know what responsibility is and a stable mind. Kids are fragile and social media is evil.
So much promise for this young man and he was a positive contribution to society. A loving family. Yet, here we are left with those 3 despicable vile individuals who get to live another day. So sad but so happy for his parents that they will get justice.
Never send anything by email or text that you wouldn't want shown to the general public. Emails and photos frequently become evidence at trial. If someone wants to see you naked that badly, get a room.
Doesn't matter where they are from, their actions caused his death. They should face both civil/ criminal charges. Education is the key, you are in the devil's playground whilst online. R.I.P. Jordan ✨
SO happy to hear this!! They need to pay for what they did. I have not heard of this type of scam until now. So heartbreaking. Prayers for that family as they heal.
Two "brothers" both named Sam. That's how SOME families in America name their children in order to try to fool the cops in their certain future of needing to fool the cops.
So glad they have someone that can be held accountable for this terrible crime. We have to get the word out that never ever send out nude photos. They see public figures take theses photos and post them on their accounts so they don't think about doing it but we need to reinforced no reason to ever, ever send out nude photos. Even to someone you know that you are dating or married too. If that relationship goes bad you don't know what they will do with your photos.
Wow such a happy, sweet young man.. I wish he felt like he could talk to someone about this. It's very sad. This should bring more awareness to supporting and protecting young men because they can easily be victims as well and are much more likely to unalive themselves. If this were my brother, I would definitely want redemption.
@@ThatGirlLib This kid committed suicide. These parents have lost their son and you make immature comments concerning his girlfriend? Someone should notify your parents and screenshot your comments to them. I’m sure they would be sooooo proud.
This horrific scam is happening to more teens. I just saw another headline of one who took his own life not too long ago from the same sextortion scam. Such a disgusting tactic
Let your kids know that you are non-judgmental. Maybe lovingly break in to their phones, if you ever feel like something's not right with them. Be prepared to find things in their phone to be non-judgmental about. As a teenager, it is soo easy to feel like suicide is the only answer. In this case, there is nothing the parents could have done. But we have to find ways to deal with all of the bullying that seems to be growing online. I'm so sorry, Jordan 💔
It really doesn't matter whether it's someone you know or someone who you think you know. There needs to be open discussion that it's never safe to engage in these types of interactions.
Bless God they were caught. Children, no secret is worth you taking your life, or having someone blackmailing you for any reason. Talk to your parents or an adult you trust.
It is unbelievable that there wasn't an adult somewhere in his life he could have told, as embarrassing as it would have been. This is a horrible story.
Yet his mom is on here running her mouth. She should’ve been running her mouth when he was alive and actually helping him. And because it’s a America, I don’t know if he has a father
@azureavocado5195 Yes. The mom is baffling. I thought, why couldn't he tell his father? Then, I remembered exactly what you expressed in your last sentence.
What a wonderful Mom. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son Jordan. May his memory continue to be a blessing for you, your famiy, and for all who knew him.
This type of problem is ONLY TEMPORARY!!!! Don’t end yourself because of it!! No matter what happens, the results of it will pass and you’ll be OK! Please don’t let this scum destroy your life!
If somebody loves you they DO NOT NEED NAKED PICTURES OF YOU!!! I’ve never sent any myself and I don’t need any sent to me! Love is love! Not naked pictures!!
I can't begin to tell you how this has affected our community here in Marquette. Seeing these guys get taken down is a relief and brings tears to my eyes, but many of us would do anything to just be able to talk to Jordan that night and support him before he made the choice to end his own life. Thank you for sharing the story. Hug your kids and listen to them folks! Hold them close and let them know they can tell you anything without judgement! Btw, huge props to the local authorities for handling the situation and getting the right people involved to get these people. Sheriff Greg Zyburt, Detective Captain Lowell Larson, and state authorities played such an important role in the investigation.
Rather than invading their privacy by spying on them-which models secrecy and distrust-talk to them openly about the dangers of sending explicit photos to anyone (even people they're dating), and make it known through your words and actions that they can come to you if something like this happens.
Oh praise god! This broke my mother heart. I have littles, but things like this make me dread when they start growing up and having lives of their own… it’s a much diff world than we grew up in, that’s for sure! Prayers for this family always! ❤
I explained it to my child like this: if you send a picture on the internet just know that it probably going to be copied many many times and sent many many times. We do not have any assurity that it won't. So be cautious.
The crazy thing is, they can do this without you sending them a compromising photo. They can take someone else's compromising photo of just a body part and attach it to a post with a separate picture of you (via sent selfie or profile pic) saying it's your compromising photo. People can start protecting themselves by locking down all their social media so that their accounts are NOT public. Delete people you do not know in person and only share things with friends.
If it’s *digitized* and online, it’s NEVER private The answer is: do not give children under 18 highly addictive smartphone and tablet devices that they are on all day and place a computer for the household in a public part of the house with limited screen time.
@@natnat8199 excellent point! I was referring to people in general. I know adults that this has happened to along with a million other scams. I don't understand the purpose of having public accounts ....unless your trying to become tik tok famous, I guess.
Thats exactly how they doing it , taking all his pics off IG then photo shoots others private parts These nigerian are sick It happened to my 68 year old father They even got my moms number and told her if she doesn't send the money they will post his nudes all over fb my mom said go ahead people will love to see my husband's nudes 😂😂😂it went on for months and they got nothing Also kids need to also learn that they should send nudes to people they meet online yoy never know who u talking too
Men will do what men will do. Hopefully women will understand this and same goes for male victims. Understand your predator or there could be consequences.
what environment was this teen boy in that, the idea of his family or friends finding out he sent nudes to someone, warrants ending his life? almost everyone under the age of 40 has sent nude photos at some point it’s just mind boggling he’s gone forever over such a trivial thing
I love that the families are speaking out. I know it must be so difficult. But there must be justice for sextortion. International or in any case. The amount of destruction these people cause cannot be overlooked. My condolences to your family.. and to other victims families. These beautiful babies / humans deserve justice.
The US government needs to come down hard, swift & publicly with these pathetic sludges of society,… Others alike might think twice before trying to scam their next victim 😡
This is good news but it is so sad that Jordan lost his life :( this is so terrible. I’m glad this is bringing awareness and thanks for the media and fbi for making this possible for charges. May he rest in peace and May Jordan’s family find some sort of closure, peace, and justice.
I think having the suspects imprisoned in the US is more of a "privilege" for them. Imagine if they were to serve their time in a prison in their own country.
If you're too weak minded to have your picture sent around, then don't send one at all. So sad his parents didn't teach him about th3 dangers of the internet!
Maybe unpopular to say but cases like this muddy what real sextortion is and lack all personal accountability. I hate what happened to him but he chose to take his on life. No one made him the worst that could've happened is a year of embarrassment. Where's the ACCOUNTABILITY

This is so horribly sad. This boy should still be here, just beginning the adventures of young adulthood. This is heartbreaking.
An American prison is probably 100% better than living in Nigeria.
sadly so, too bad they aren't shipped to the worst foreign prison to serve out their time
Depends on which part of Nigeria…
It's going to be federal prison. That's supposed to be much nicer than state prison.
I think it depends onIF the others finds out what they are charged for.. To be the person behind a child´s death is NOT a easy thing to sit behind bars for.. From what I have heard.
Social media needs to go away completely! How do people allow others control them through a device?! It's insane... Heart breaking for this young man sad story.
Yes
"Social media needs to go away completely! " - You're on social media at the moment.
"How do people allow others control them through a device?! It's insane..." - It's called bad parenting.
@@Sam11747 yes I'm on social media but I'm an adult! Children shouldn't be allowed to have social media period! Not until they know what responsibility is. And 100% agree it's bad parenting.
@@robbiejohn91368 it may but children shouldn't have it anyways. Not until they know what responsibility is and a stable mind. Kids are fragile and social media is evil.
@@amasugi725 thanks for clarifying, but you're still moving the goal posts.
So much promise for this young man and he was a positive contribution to society. A loving family. Yet, here we are left with those 3 despicable vile individuals who get to live another day. So sad but so happy for his parents that they will get justice.
If only he chatted with his girlfriend instead of someone else online. At least she has a chance to meet someone new.
Wow bet they thought that they would never have to answer for it
Is no one going to acknowledge that the ‘victims’ share in responsibility by sending explicit photos to anyone???
Never send anything by email or text that you wouldn't want shown to the general public. Emails and photos frequently become evidence at trial. If someone wants to see you naked that badly, get a room.
With AI, even innocent pictures could be turned into something you wouldn't want anyone to see.
Doesn't matter where they are from, their actions caused his death.
They should face both civil/ criminal charges.
Education is the key, you are in the devil's playground whilst online.
R.I.P. Jordan ✨
SO happy to hear this!! They need to pay for what they did. I have not heard of this type of scam until now. So heartbreaking. Prayers for that family as they heal.
A whole town in Thailand was doing this and it was a female that ran it. It’s heartbreaking what they do to you in just a few minutes!
I'm so happy to hear about extradition for these crimes.
What a sickening world. So very happy the bad guys were caught!
Prayers for Jordan's family.🙏💚💙
When I was a teen, none of these things happen. It was 22 years ago. These smartphones and easily accessible internet is the culprit of it all.
How about parents monitor there kids phones & what there doing on them !! The internet is dangerous wake up
So glad that people like this are facing consequences. Much love and prayers for Jordan and his Family.🕯🕊
Omg what a tragedy. Why you don’t you talk to your parents 😢
Two "brothers" both named Sam. That's how SOME families in America name their children in order to try to fool the cops in their certain future of needing to fool the cops.
So glad they have someone that can be held accountable for this terrible crime. We have to get the word out that never ever send out nude photos. They see public figures take theses photos and post them on their accounts so they don't think about doing it but we need to reinforced no reason to ever, ever send out nude photos. Even to someone you know that you are dating or married too. If that relationship goes bad you don't know what they will do with your photos.
It's a failure of our govenment that these animals aren't charged and put to death without mercy or due process.
Wow such a happy, sweet young man.. I wish he felt like he could talk to someone about this. It's very sad. This should bring more awareness to supporting and protecting young men because they can easily be victims as well and are much more likely to unalive themselves. If this were my brother, I would definitely want redemption.
Hopefully his girlfriend moves on and meets another sweet young man. 🫠
@@ThatGirlLib that's heartbreaking... a lot of lives impacted 💔
@@ThatGirlLib This kid committed suicide. These parents have lost their son and you make immature comments concerning his girlfriend? Someone should notify your parents and screenshot your comments to them. I’m sure they would be sooooo proud.
@@Trish.Norman seems like he was the immature one. She dodged a bullet. Stay triggered. 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Corn-trolia strikes again.
This horrific scam is happening to more teens. I just saw another headline of one who took his own life not too long ago from the same sextortion scam. Such a disgusting tactic
I am so glad that they are being held accountable.
It's Wednesday where I am 😮
I'm happy they are going to face justice
Let your kids know that you are non-judgmental. Maybe lovingly break in to their phones, if you ever feel like something's not right with them. Be prepared to find things in their phone to be non-judgmental about. As a teenager, it is soo easy to feel like suicide is the only answer. In this case, there is nothing the parents could have done. But we have to find ways to deal with all of the bullying that seems to be growing online. I'm so sorry, Jordan 💔
Wipe the floor with them in court. Poor kid.
They need to teach kids about this danger in sex ed at school.
What about drug dealers who are killing countless victims and profiting from others misery?
No this country would rather focus on a poor handsome boy who lacked strength to fight on.
It really doesn't matter whether it's someone you know or someone who you think you know. There needs to be open discussion that it's never safe to engage in these types of interactions.
Thank God these two are being extradited to America for justice to be served!!!! Let this family have the justice they and Jordan deserve!
These romance scammers have managed to run amuck for so long and they are getting bolder. I'm glad they're finally getting caught now.
Praise to the FBI and their worldwide contacts as well as Nigerian law enforcement.
It is good to finally find these guys who do these horrible things. It needs to stop.
I hope they never get out of prison
sad that it took a life in order to finally catch these scumbags.
Where are their parents, haven’t they not been notified?
I really hope there is justice on this. It makes me sick. Truly the dark side of the internet
WHAT, they got extradited! Crazy. First time hearing about a scammer being brought to justice in the US. I hope they get life.
Bless God they were caught. Children, no secret is worth you taking your life, or having someone blackmailing you for any reason. Talk to your parents or an adult you trust.
Wow, this is a great big step forward for stopping these scammers. How I wish every country will have a power to extradite.
This case will hopefully set a precedent to others from this country. It’s sad that people like this give an entire country a bad name!
Nigerians are known for that kind of scam, those are the first ones to be held accountable for their actions
It is unbelievable that there wasn't an adult somewhere in his life he could have told, as embarrassing as it would have been. This is a horrible story.
Yet his mom is on here running her mouth. She should’ve been running her mouth when he was alive and actually helping him.
And because it’s a America, I don’t know if he has a father
@azureavocado5195 Yes. The mom is baffling. I thought, why couldn't he tell his father? Then, I remembered exactly what you expressed in your last sentence.
What a wonderful Mom. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your son Jordan. May his memory continue to be a blessing for you, your famiy, and for all who knew him.
This type of problem is ONLY TEMPORARY!!!! Don’t end yourself because of it!! No matter what happens, the results of it will pass and you’ll be OK! Please don’t let this scum destroy your life!
If somebody loves you they DO NOT NEED NAKED PICTURES OF YOU!!!
I’ve never sent any myself and I don’t need any sent to me!
Love is love!
Not naked pictures!!
I can't begin to tell you how this has affected our community here in Marquette. Seeing these guys get taken down is a relief and brings tears to my eyes, but many of us would do anything to just be able to talk to Jordan that night and support him before he made the choice to end his own life. Thank you for sharing the story. Hug your kids and listen to them folks! Hold them close and let them know they can tell you anything without judgement!
Btw, huge props to the local authorities for handling the situation and getting the right people involved to get these people. Sheriff Greg Zyburt, Detective Captain Lowell Larson, and state authorities played such an important role in the investigation.
Yet no one goes after the traffickers on P-hub
Monitor minor's internet activity and learn to keep your life private
Kids know how to hide stuff very very well. It’s not that simple
Rather than invading their privacy by spying on them-which models secrecy and distrust-talk to them openly about the dangers of sending explicit photos to anyone (even people they're dating), and make it known through your words and actions that they can come to you if something like this happens.
Oh praise god! This broke my mother heart. I have littles, but things like this make me dread when they start growing up and having lives of their own… it’s a much diff world than we grew up in, that’s for sure! Prayers for this family always! ❤
I explained it to my child like this: if you send a picture on the internet just know that it probably going to be copied many many times and sent many many times. We do not have any assurity that it won't. So be cautious.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
I’m so glad that the scumbag pieces of crap are going to be held accountable
The crazy thing is, they can do this without you sending them a compromising photo. They can take someone else's compromising photo of just a body part and attach it to a post with a separate picture of you (via sent selfie or profile pic) saying it's your compromising photo. People can start protecting themselves by locking down all their social media so that their accounts are NOT public. Delete people you do not know in person and only share things with friends.
Great advice 👍
If it’s *digitized* and online, it’s NEVER private
The answer is: do not give children under 18 highly addictive smartphone and tablet devices that they are on all day and place a computer for the household in a public part of the house with limited screen time.
@@natnat8199 excellent point! I was referring to people in general. I know adults that this has happened to along with a million other scams. I don't understand the purpose of having public accounts ....unless your trying to become tik tok famous, I guess.
Thats exactly how they doing it , taking all his pics off IG then photo shoots others private parts
These nigerian are sick
It happened to my 68 year old father
They even got my moms number and told her if she doesn't send the money they will post his nudes all over fb my mom said go ahead people will love to see my husband's nudes 😂😂😂it went on for months and they got nothing
Also kids need to also learn that they should send nudes to people they meet online yoy never know who u talking too
I can't help think nothing would have ever been done about this had the kid not killed himself.
disgusting hyenas :(
For any youth watching this, hope this gives you an idea of why your parents need to be monitoring your activity online.
Condolences to the family and thank you to the FBI.
Men will do what men will do. Hopefully women will understand this and same goes for male victims. Understand your predator or there could be consequences.
what environment was this teen boy in that, the idea of his family or friends finding out he sent nudes to someone, warrants ending his life?
almost everyone under the age of 40 has sent nude photos at some point
it’s just mind boggling he’s gone forever over such a trivial thing
Teenagers stop sending sexual images of yourselves for Christ sake!
This.
It’s about time we’re extraditing these scammers
I love that the families are speaking out. I know it must be so difficult. But there must be justice for sextortion. International or in any case. The amount of destruction these people cause cannot be overlooked. My condolences to your family.. and to other victims families. These beautiful babies / humans deserve justice.
The US government needs to come down hard, swift & publicly with these pathetic sludges of society,… Others alike might think twice before trying to scam their next victim 😡
I just wish that he felt like he could go to someone about this, thoughts are with his poor family who had to go through such a difficult situation.
I hope they all get life sentences (if/when found guilty) and get sent back to Nigeria to serve their time in a jail over there.
This is good news but it is so sad that Jordan lost his life :( this is so terrible. I’m glad this is bringing awareness and thanks for the media and fbi for making this possible for charges. May he rest in peace and May Jordan’s family find some sort of closure, peace, and justice.
I think having the suspects imprisoned in the US is more of a "privilege" for them. Imagine if they were to serve their time in a prison in their own country.
If you're too weak minded to have your picture sent around, then don't send one at all. So sad his parents didn't teach him about th3 dangers of the internet!
HONESTLY INSTAGRAM SHOULD ALSO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE… the AI should flag messages with the words “KILL MYSELF” to authorities…..
Maybe unpopular to say but cases like this muddy what real sextortion is and lack all personal accountability. I hate what happened to him but he chose to take his on life. No one made him the worst that could've happened is a year of embarrassment. Where's the ACCOUNTABILITY
As his parent, I wouldn’t even be showing my face.
Because the failure here was on them for not being there for him & how he was raised.
Although nothing will bring the boy back, at least the scammers won't be able to hurt anybody else.
