Sextortion warning: In six hours, my son was dead | BBC News

Sextortion warning: In six hours, my son was dead | BBC News

A mother whose son killed himself just six hours after being targeted by "sextortionists" is campaigning to raise awareness.

Jordan DeMay died in 2022 after brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi targeted him from Lagos, pretending to be an attractive girl his age, and then blackmailed him with explicit images of himself.

Now, his mother, Jenn Buta, is using the TikTok account Jordan set up for her to warn young people about such criminals, largely based in Nigeria – and her videos have more than a million "likes".

Nigerian police have told BBC News any suggestion they are not taking the crimes seriously is "laughable".
