A 27-year-old Nigerian national, Imoleayo Aina, has pleaded guilty in the United States to multiple federal charges related to a disturbing sextortion scheme that U.S. authorities say led to the suicide of a teenage boy.
The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed Aina’s plea in a statement released Thursday by U.S. Attorney David Metcalf. Aina now faces a statutory maximum sentence of life in prison, with sentencing scheduled for August 11, 2025.
