Authorities arrested four men in Cote d'Ivoire for their involvement in a significant sextortion scheme that targeted victims worldwide, including Ryan Last, a San Jose teen. After engaging in an online relationship with the primary suspect, Alfred Kassi, Last faced coercion over explicit photos, ultimately leading to his tragic suicide. Investigations uncovered that Kassi and his accomplices made significant monetary demands from victims, with Kassi allegedly maintaining evidence of his extortion efforts. Despite their arrests, extradition is not an option, as Cote d'Ivoire does not extradite its citizens, meaning they will face prosecution locally under Ivorian laws.
