A con man in Georgia pretends to be a porn star to fool NFL athletes

According to a recent report, several NFL and NBA stars were duped by a Georgia man pretending to be a known porn star. Kwamaine Jerell Ford, 34, of Buford, was charged in connection with the elaborate racket, targeting a slew of professional athletes, that he started while in prison in November 2020. Ford was already in jail and convicted of computer fraud and aggravated identity theft, after allegedly obtaining login credentials for Apple accounts belonging to NBA and NFL players after posing as a well-known porn star and offering to send them sexually explicit videos, federal prosecutors said.

But that wasnโ€™t the end of it. Ford goes deeper than that. U.

S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg released a statement on March 16.

โ€œWhile serving time for stealing credit card numbers from athletes and celebrities to fund his lifestyle, Ford allegedly engaged in the same conduct again. Disturbingly, the indictment alleges that Ford went even further and used a fraudulent online persona to traffic a young woman and coerce her to produce hidden camera videos of commercial sex acts with unknowing individuals. โ€ Ford also got the female involved to travel wherever the athlete was and film the sex acts without their consent.
