💨 Abstract

Four men in West Africa have been arrested for their involvement in an international sextortion scheme. The investigation was sparked by the 2022 suicide of a 17-year-old California teenager, Ryan Last, who died after being blackmailed with explicit photos he sent online. The men, arrested in Cote d’Ivoire, targeted thousands of victims in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
