Sextortion: TV reporter confronts a Nigerian scammer | 7NEWS Spotlight
7NEWS Spotlight’s bombshell investigation reveals the dark underbelly of social media sextortion and the role Meta and other tech giants play in taking responsibility in these scams.
Rohan Cosgriff, 17, had everything to live for, but within hours of the Victorian teenager sharing an explicit photo on social media with a Nigerian scammer posing as a young, attractive girl, Rohan was blackmailed and pressured into taking his own life.
In a major 7NEWS Spotlight investigation, award-winning investigative journalist Sarah Greenhalgh reveals the dark underbelly of social media.
The Australian Federal Police estimate that as many as 3,000 cases occur in our country every month, with teenage boys left ashamed and scared. What starts as a simple “hello” in a direct online message quickly escalates into a terrifying ordeal involving private photos and ruthless extortion. Like Rohan, some of these cases have tragic consequences.
Determined to expose the criminals, Sarah travels 15,000km to Lagos, Nigeria, coming face-to-face with a sextortionist who explains in chilling detail how he and his colleagues target their victims.
In a heart-wrenching interview, Rohan’s parents share their son’s story publicly for the first time. Recounting the tragic circumstances that led to his death, the Cosgriffs hope to prevent other Australian families experiencing the same tragedy.

Escaping the Hamas attack on Ofakim: A survivor's story
Jeremy is either clueless or is there to put out disinfo or both. The govt most definitely knows alot about the UFOs. They also have reverse engineered these craft for decades and the govt has their own alien reverse engineered craft. Being that he knows John leer and Bob lazar it’s odd he says there isn’t reverse engineering being g done when lazar was employed by the govt at Area 51 for exactly that. He is putting out disinfo. Also the tic tac ufo filmed by tbe military was a man made reverse engineered craft from downed alien craft. The secret space program is real. NASA is a front they hide and help fund the real space program that is hidden. Ben rich from Lockheed skunk works said they have the technology to take E.T home. Too bad these guys in this interview are there to skew the information and mislead people.
I LOVE JIM BROWNING <3 <3 <3
i wonder how ozempic would effect her weight. i know it can’t do anything about her hunger since it’s a mental thing, but it could help her lose a bit of weight maybe. /nm /lh
Oh, I so identify with much of this. Solidarity anne.
👏👏❤️🙏 I SALUTE you @kevinsullivan6106! In my book you are a HERO!
ah, the old futures trader. Nothing like a job that no one understands.
I saw an older doc she was in from years ago. Hope she's doing ok The worst bit of the disease is they need less cals per day than the average person. So it must feel like a losing battle
Not Prader Willi, but many people taking some of the antipsychotic medications tell me they are constantly hungry and never feel full enough. They feel it as a constant battle as well.
Say what you like about the UK government. They dl care for disabled people.
Thank you Mary Mackillop for the many favours granted.
Please, record such videos without that annoying music in the background! I've got tinnitus, and it is very distracting!
If only the reporter take the note to the US first..
He is soooo matured compared to her 🤦🏻♀️
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!!!
I love Anne and autism is harder to diagnose in girls than boys,girls with autism can still seem advanced etc but boys go into themselves more not talking till aged 5 etc my eldest son has autism and he was more into himself than expressing himself,his ex girlfriend has autism and she was diagnosed later than Matthew because she seemed advanced in many ways but couldn’t get it down in paper,I believe I have undiagnosed autism myself because I struggled at school but in the eugh😅aut😅wasn’t known then and I struggled with change and still struggle with change even at aged 46 I like things to stay the same and that’s a known trait of autism,I struggle getting education down on paper but I can memorise and be good in my jobs that’s autism for you ❤Anne would’ve struggled in boarding school at the start because of the change but girls mask it better than boys ❤I love organising to a s routine I know I have undiagnosed autism and going to get it diagnosed won’t change anything now at my age and I’m happy and work hard and got married and have 4 children ❤and like Anne I need things explained it me directly more than someone without autism but I joke and say in having my blonde moments as in blonde 😂❤
I get her confusion. she doesn’t feel like she was being predatory. She’s not attracted to 13 year olds. But she was flattered by his 13 y/o boy crushing while they were in a “college atmosphere”. Also her age and upbringing is why she thought only men can be rapists. Problem is she didn’t learn her lesson. She wouldn’t humble herself and just say it was wrong even though it didn’t feel wrong. Her pride is what’s making her defensive and dance around the questions. She also seems on the spectrum.
I saw some gun metal colored triangualar shaped ship flying about 300m above me overhead. The funny thing is, I dont remember what I was doing before, and all of a sudden, I was hyper aware standing outside my house and felt like looking up and I saw it momentarily as it just left. This was like 1983 or 84 when I was about 5 or 6. For many years I thought it was just a fighter jet. But now I question what it really was. And if I was abducted and just dropped off.
Also our physics is wrong. I ended up doing a degree in aerospace engineering. There is something about electro magnetism and gravity that we haven't put together yet. For instance if you force two strong opposing magnets together and drop it in a vacuum it will fall slower than the rate of gravity suggests, meaning that gravities effect has been reduced.
when i heard the victim who just had a chemo because of cancer and the scammer just didn't care infuriates me! how heartless could you be to robbed someone who is already suffering!!!
Summoning the other side of dimension in the past and everybody is that far from the past, but Jay Edgar Hoover deuce said and I air quote That's a like you, Us the masses are unacceptable by slight of hand and shhhh as well, but the amount of coverup and what unfathomable secrets like the first as well as the last as well that is so unbelievably unbearable we are having to be honest with lie to function and ignore the fact that what is the truth is the so broad and so deliberately deceptive and I n facing, I feel like I am trying to get this demention behind me and we are being absorbed by the way interdimensional being and the fact that the Boogeyman is not a imagination but really that soul absorbed, tricky and real but somebody has been doing that for the past millions of times in Year for the most recent certain points of the world 🌎🤏 HOPE they can reinvest and pay you and I, All skins and quit with the divisiveness and get the 13th month of every year we each have to make up for the next few terror days in my mind, about to get nasty if we that people who are in the middle finger and government is rancid and compromised and selling our lives and future love ❤️ just to make a bombs

If you deal in drugs in some countries you get the death penalty. Dont ask me to feel sorry for them they knew what they were getting themselves into. Let this be a lesson to anyone who wants to try follow there footsteps. Crime doesn't pay.

Thank you Anne for turning the light on. You are an inspiration to so many. Love watching you.
That poor lad
Occums Razor! With everything being equal it's the simplest explanation! I do not believe in coincidences! Everything points at Capt. Zahari! He HD a flight simulator in his house with flights to this part of the southern Indian Ocean! Not a coincidence! Plane turned and tipped it wings when going around Penang! So Capt. Zahari could take one last look! Not a coincidence! The plane followed a line of overlapping survalence! Not a coincidence! The flight data recorder was manually turned off! Not a coincidence! Capt Zahari choose to become a mass murderer of 238 innocent people! People that had wives, husbands, friends, hopes and dreams! MH370 must be found!

Sorry she didn’t know raping a 13 year old boy as 33 year old woman who is the boys teacher isn’t illegal. Sorry no! No, when caught in the van by the police why did she said oh it’s fine his parents know he’s with me I’m his teacher, why didn’t you say oh it’s ok he’s my boyfriend? No love try again
Fantastic lady
I really hope people learn to never go with a stranger anywhere. I mean she was on her way to court but then had enough time to go look at puppies? I don’t get why she went with this man. Walked into his house freely!
This lady though😢😢😢
She seems psychotic
Max 737 needed this type of experience, slow to panic. Congratulations to Captain Kevin.

Why did only Renee get 20 years ?
Its interesting that even now with all thats happened, conviction, marriage, kids, that both can't agree that the relationship at the beginning was wrong but feelings were there and that's it.
I Thought Flat Earther's were insane! Oh, wait a minute!
Anne is my favourite on the chase, ❤❤❤
We all love Ann.❤❤
She was wacky!!
I don’t need to know how anti gravity works, I’d just love to see the ships/spacecraft they have and to know it’s all true. Just imagine the governments round the world released video footage and pictures to show us, would be a dream come true.
Love this woman she rocks
I worked with two students with this condition, not easy at all. At the residence locks had to be put on the fridge. It is a constant urge to eat. One dayI was teaching the students how to make scones and the PWS students had eaten the raw dough in seconds. So sad.
I wouldn't go to Mexico to use the bathroom, let alone plastic surgery. How about we look at this from the other end. Maybe we'd have fewer charlatans and criminals in the profession were prices reasonable. I mean, why DOES it cost so much to get plastic surgery?
