TL;DR Summary

Three Nigerian men have been indicted for their alleged involvement in an "international sextortion ring" that led to the suicide of 17-year-old Jordan DeMay in Michigan last year. The trio allegedly posed as a teenage girl on Instagram and encouraged DeMay to send explicit photos of himself, which they later used to blackmail him for money. DeMay paid $300 to the scammers, but they continued to threaten him. He died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the exchange. The investigation is ongoing, and more defendants may be charged in the future.
