American Senator Lindsay Graham has expressed the approval of the Nigerian man to be accused of extradition of sexuality to the United States to be tested.
“Gavin tragically commits suicide as a result of this scheme of sex, and I am grateful to the federal and state law enforcement authorities who tracked the perpetrator of this terrible crime,” Graham says in a statement.
“I met with Gavin’s father, a representative of South Carolina Brandon Guffy, last year, when the Senate Judiciary Committee called out the executive directors of major technology for what they do to protect children online. I know that Brandon and his entire family are equally pleased that the alleged perpetrator will face justice.
“Similar cases where young people are lured to take explicit pictures, just to be blackmailed later, must be considered. Therefore, I am adamant that social media companies that allow this behavior to exist to be the subject of responsibility. They are not at the moment. “
In a courtroom in Colombia on Monday, Guffy had to face 24-year-old Hasanbunhusane Aloor Loaul, who was brought to the United States by Nigeria on Saturday.

He is also accused of producing and spreading sexual abuse materials, coercion and lureing of a minor, cybling, which leads to death and interstate threats with the intention of blackmailing.
