Former Basketball Star Accused of Online Extortion | Hartford News
Description
Former East Texas A&M basketball player Demarcus Demonia is facing first-degree larceny after allegedly extorting a Glastonbury man via Instagram and Snapchat, demanding $5K for explicit photos — the victim sent $2K via Zelle, traced directly to Demonia’s bank account. Police uncovered suspicious financial activity, including rapid deposits and withdrawals, no regular income, and ATM withdrawals — all pointing to possible money laundering. Investigators linked the transaction to a Google account near Greenville, Texas, and confirmed Demonia’s identity through an ESPN profile and social media posts in his jersey. His iPhone, nicknamed “Dmac,” was also tied to the account. Demonia was released on $20K bond with a plea hearing scheduled for July 28.
