A 27-year-old Nigerian man, Imoleayo Samuel Aina, also known as “Alice Dave,” has been sentenced to 72 months in prison, five years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $3,250 in restitution for his role in a sexual extortion scheme that led to the death of 20-year-old Jack Sullivan in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Aina was sentenced by United States District Judge Joel H. Slomsky on October 28, 2025. The announcement was made in a press release issued by U.S. Attorney David Metcalf on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
The statement noted that publication of the press release had been delayed due to the federal government shutdown, which lasted from October 1 to November 12, 2025.
The investigation began in January 2023 after Sullivan, a Glenside resident and sophomore at Kutztown University, received a flirtatious Instagram message from Aina, posing as “Alice Dave.” The two began exchanging messages, which later escalated into the sharing of intimate photos on Snapchat. By that night, Aina turned the conversation into threats, demanding money in exchange for not releasing the photos.
Sullivan sent approximately $2,800, but Aina still refused to delete the images. Less than 24 hours after the first message, Sullivan walked onto the train tracks leading to the Jenkintown SEPTA station, where he was struck and killed by a passing train just minutes later.
According to the press release, Aina and co-defendant Samuel Olasunkanmi Abiodun were arrested in Nigeria on a complaint and warrant, taken into FBI custody on July 31, 2024, and extradited to the United States to face charges. They, along with another Nigerian co-defendant, 25-year-old Afeez Olatunji Adewale, were indicted in August 2024.
In May 2025, Aina pleaded guilty to cyberstalking, interstate threat to injure reputation, receiving proceeds of extortion, money laundering conspiracy, and wire fraud.
Abiodun, 26, pleaded guilty in December 2024 to money laundering conspiracy and wire fraud. He was sentenced on June 10, 2025, to five years in prison.
Adewale has been charged with money laundering conspiracy and wire fraud. He remains in Nigeria pending extradition to the United States.
“Aina was the driving force behind this sextortion scheme, which left a young man, and then his family, traumatized,” said U.S. Attorney Metcalf. “The Department of Justice won’t stand by when innocent victims in the U.S. are harmed by criminal scammers overseas. As this case shows, we can—and we will—find, prosecute, and hold accountable these insidious sextortionists who terrorize people for money.”
“This case is a powerful reminder of the profound harm sextortion inflicts on young people and their families, and of our unwavering commitment to pursuing those who perpetrate it,” said Wayne A. Jacobs, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office. “This sentence sends a clear message: whether you are in the United States or operating from abroad, the FBI and our partners will relentlessly pursue you. If you exploit our youth, we will bring you to justice.”
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 from the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs, the FBI Legal Attaché in Abuja, and Nigerian authorities.
“The support and assistance of Nigerian security authorities were essential to this effort, notably that of Nigeria’s Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Federal Ministry of Justice’s International Criminal Justice Cooperation Department, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,” the statement added.
