Michigan mother responds to new charges in scheme that led to son's death

Federal authorities have charged five U.S. citizens from Georgia and Alabama with money laundering in connection to a sextortion scheme that led to the death of Michigan high school student Jordan DeMay. DeMay, who lived in Marquette, committed suicide after being blackmailed over nude photos. Prosecutors allege that the defendants laundered over $158,000 linked to the scheme, which targeted approximately 100 individuals.
