FBI Director Christopher Wray has spoken to one of the nation's largest police groups about how his agency works with police around the United States in tackling violent crime, fentanyl and gangs.
2 hours agoFILE - FBI Director Christopher Wray testifies before a House Committee on the Judiciary oversight hearing, July 12, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Wray spoke to one of the nation's largest police groups on Saturday, Oct. 14 about how the agency works with police around the country, including helping secure an indictment against two men accused in the death of a small-town Michigan teenager caught in an international online sexual extortion scheme.
Wray highlighted the case in a speech to the International Association of Chiefs of Police about the ways the agency assists police in tackling violent crime, fentanyl and gangs. In a year where tensions between Congress and the FBI have run high at times, Wray focused on the agency's relationships with U.S. police departments large and small, including some 6,000 task force officers around the country.
But once he shared images of himself, the talk changed to demands for money in exchange for the other side not sending the images to DeMay's family and friends. When the teenager could not pay, the person on the other end pushed DeMay to kill himself, authorities said. The FBI has seen a tenfold increase in “sextortion” cases since 2021. A least 3,000 children and teenagers have been targeted, and more than a dozen have killed themselves. Many schemes are believed to be originating with scammers based in African countries such as Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. Most victims are between age 14 and 17, but kids as young as 10 have been targeted.
