Imoleayo Samuel Aina, 27, was sentenced on Tuesday to six years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for money laundering conspiracy and wire fraud related to the sexual extortion and death of Jack Sullivan, a Glenside resident and a 2021 graduate of Abington Senior High School, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Aina, aka “Alice Dave,” and co-defendant Samuel Olasunkanmi Abiodun, 25, of Nigeria, were arrested on a complaint and warrant in Nigeria, taken into custody by the FBI on July 31, 2024, and extradited to the United States to face charges. They and another Nigerian co-defendant, Afeez Olatunji Adewale, 25, were then charged by indictment in August 2024.
Abiodun was sentenced in June to five years in prison. Aina pleaded guilty in May to cyberstalking, interstate threat to injure reputation, receiving proceeds of extortion, money laundering conspiracy, and wire fraud.
According to The Inquirer, Sullivan’s parents “said they did not believe federal sentencing guidelines sufficiently captured the gravity of Aina’s crimes” but were “grateful to prosecutors for pursuing a novel case — one that authorities described as the first prosecution of an international defendant for such crimes against an American adult.”
Sullivan’s 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.
