Nigerian Sextortionist Faces 30-Year Sentence | Jackson News

A Nigerian man, just 26, is now facing a potential 30-year sentence after being extradited to the U.S. for sextortion that led to the tragic death of a 16-year-old Mississippi teen in 2022. The victim, Walker Montgomery, took his own life after being blackmailed online — a heartbreaking case that underscores how global predators exploit vulnerable youth. Arrested in Nigeria last August as part of an FBI crackdown, Adekunle’s first court appearance in Oxford, Mississippi, marks a critical step toward justice — even if it can’t undo the loss. The Attorney General emphasized Walker’s bright future cut short, and while the trial won’t bring him back, it offers hope for closure for his family and a warning to others who prey on teens across borders.
