A Nigerian man, Imoleayo Samuel Aina, aka Alice Dave, 27, entered a plea of guilty before United States District Court Judge Joel H. Slomsky to cyberstalking, interstate threat to injure reputation, receiving proceeds of extortion, money laundering conspiracy, and four counts of wire fraud, in connection with the sexual extortion and d3ath of a 20-year-old man, Jack Sullivan, who committed suicide in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. United States Attorney David Metcalf announced this in a statement issued by the U.S. Department of Justice on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. Aina and co-defendant Samuel Olasunkanmi Abiodun, 25, were arrested on a complaint and warant in Nigeria, taken into custody by the FBI on July 31, 2024, and extradited to the United States to face charges in this case.  They and another Nigerian co-defendant, Afeez Olatunji Adewale, 25, were then charged by indictment in August 2024.  Aina is scheduled to be sentenced on August 11 and faces a statutory maximum of lifetime imprisonment. Abiodun pleaded guilty in December to money laundering conspiracy and four counts of wire fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10 and faces a statutory maximum of 100 years imprisonment. Adewale has also been charged with money laundering conspiracy and four counts of wire fraud. He remains in Nigeria, pending extradition to the U.S. The case was investigated by the FBI and the Abington Township Police Department and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick Brown. Aina and Abiodun were extradited to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania with assistance of the Justice Departments Office of International Affairs, the FBI Legal Attach in Abuja, and the FBI.  The support and assistance of Nigerian security authorities was essential to this effort, notably that of Nigerias Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Federal Ministry of Justices International Criminal Justice Cooperation Department, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.   Jack Sullivan, a 2021 graduate of Abington Senior High School and Kutztown University sophomore, received a flirtatious Instagram message from a user who called themselves Alice Dave in January 2023.  The two exchanged messages, and later intimate photos on Snapchat.  Later that night, Alices flirty texts were replaced with threats that if Sullivan didnt send money, she would share the photos with his family, friends, and campus community all u have to do is cooperate with me and I will not expose u, if you block me I will ruin your life, Alice wrote, according to law enforcement records. dont try to act smart I know where you live.  Sullivan sent roughly $2,800 but Alice refused to delete the photos.  Less than 24 hours after the first message, he walked onto train tracks leading to the Jenkintown SEPTA station.  Three minutes later a passing train struck and k!lled him. Originally ruled a suicide, the coroners office in Montgomery County changed the cause of d3ath to homicide following an investigation. Sullivans parents filed a civil lawsuit in December 2023 against the social media companies which own Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat for failing to remove predatory accounts.   The post Nigerian national pleads guilty to cyberstalking, other charges related to the s@xual extortion and d3ath of 20-year-old man in US appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Smokey Robinson is facing a major legal challenge after four women filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 6, accusing the legendary singer of repeated s3xual assault and rape during their time working for him and his wife, Frances Gladney Robinson. The four Jane Does allege they were employed as housekeepers for the Robinson household and that their periods of employment overlapped. According to the suit, the alleged abuse spans years, with the earliest incident dating back to 2007. The women claim that while Frances was away, Smokey would summon them to his bedroom or other private areas in the home, where the assaults allegedly took place. Each of the women describes similar patterns of abuse, including forced oral s3x, digital penetration, and full intercourse against their will. The suit claims the victims explicitly told him no during these encounters. Two of the women further allege that Robinson ejaculated inside them without using protection. According to the filing, Smokey would sometimes prepare by laying a towel down before the assaults to avoid soiling bed linens. The women are now suing him for s3xual battery, assault, false imprisonment, and gender violence, seeking damages of at least $50 million. Frances Robinson is also named in the lawsuit, though the plaintiffs do not accuse her of participating in the alleged assaults. Instead, they argue she was aware of prior alleged misconduct by her husband and failed to take action. They also accuse her of contributing to a hostile work environment through the use of racially insensitive language, excessive workloads, and the denial of legally mandated meal and rest breaks. As of now, neither Smokey nor Frances Robinson has responded publicly to the allegations.The post Singer Smokey Robinson sued for s3xual battery by 4 former housekeepers appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
