The parents of a high school student share warnings about a sextortion scam that led to the death of their child. The FBI has seen a 'huge' increase in the number of these cases involving children and teens.
It was March 24, 2022. The 17-year-old from Michigan went to his room for the night, and his parents went to bed. Within hours, the high school senior was dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after being sexually extorted by men in Nigeria.
"Jordan was an amazing young man. He was always happy, and his smile lit up a room," DeMay says. "He affected so many people in a positive way and was such a larger-than-life person. He loved the outdoors, liked to fish and loved to hunt and boat, and all that fun stuff." "The pressure was on him very fast, and they never let him up for air," DeMay explains. "They wanted money. He asked how much, and they said $1,000. He couldn't pay that, so they negotiated. He ended up paying $300 in several small amounts."dani.robertts: Enjoy your miserable lifedani.robertts: I swear to Goddani.robertts: I promise you I swear
"Before Jordan died, he deleted everything, so at face value, when you look at a phone or you look at his social media accounts afterward, it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary," DeMay explains. Sextortion is happening everywhere and is becoming more common as social media platforms grow, according to Rexburg Police Lt. Ron Ball.
DeMay and Ball both say it's important for parents to talk with their kids about sextortion and set up rules, such as not allowing phones in bedrooms or bathrooms, turning off the internet at night and blocking strangers who try to engage in conversation on social media.
