Two Nigerian brothers, Samuel Ogoshi, 22, and Samson Ogoshi, 20, were extradited to the U.S. in 2023 after being indicted for running an international sextortion ring.

The Ogoshi brothers were accused of using hacked social media accounts to pose as young women and lure teenage and young adult males into sexual chats. They would then create collages that included the sexually explicit image alongside other images of the victims from social media, including images of the victims' school, family, and friends.

The brothers would then threaten to share the images with the victims' friends and family unless they paid a ransom. In one tragic case, 17-year-old Jordan DeMay of Marquette, Michigan, took his own life after falling victim to their sextortion scheme.

Matthew Hardy, a 32-year-old man from the United Kingdom was accused of stalking a woman he met online, using various social media platforms and digital tools to harass and intimidate her. The case was unique in that it involved a cross-border element, with the victim residing in the United States.

Hardy initially met the victim on a social media platform in 2018 and began a romantic relationship with her. However, when the relationship ended, Hardy began a campaign of harassment against the woman. He created fake social media accounts to impersonate her and spread false information about her, contacted her friends and family members to spread rumors, and even sent threatening messages to her.

The victim eventually filed a complaint with the local police, who then contacted the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) to investigate the case. The NCA worked with the FBI to gather evidence against Hardy, including digital records of his online activities.

In 2021, Hardy was arrested and charged with cyberstalking and harassment. He pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 2 years in prison. The case highlighted the challenges of prosecuting international cyberstalking cases and the importance of international cooperation in addressing these issues.

On March 28, 2024, the Rajkot cybercrime police arrested two men in separate cases for allegedly cyberstalking teenage girls by morphing their pictures on social media. In both instances, the accused were in their mid-20s and had targeted minor girls by sending them obscene pictures.

According to the police, Ejaz downloaded the picture of a class 11 girl from her Instagram account on December 31, 2021.

In the second case, the police arrested Nilesh Khakhra (28), an unemployed man from Manavadar town in Junagadh district, for allegedly harassing a 16-year-old girl from Rajkot over social media.
