A 76-year-old Ohio State professor is charged with killing his wife, claiming sextortion threats drove him to the act.
A 76-year-old former Ohio State University professor, James Hill, is charged with premeditated aggravated murder after allegedly killing his wife, Mary Hill, and attempting suicide, claiming the act was driven by sextortion.
Hill said he exchanged nude photos with a woman he met online who later demanded $15,000 and threatened to expose the images unless paid.
He told investigators he felt trapped and stabbed his wife during a massage, apologizing as she died, then used a knife after failing to find a gun his wife had hidden.
Hill made a brief 19-second 911 call before being hospitalized.
The case has drawn national attention, highlighting the dangers of sextortion, a crime now classified as a felony in Ohio under Braden’s Law.
The tragedy has deeply affected the university community, with former students and music alumni expressing shock and sorrow.
Hill faces a potential life sentence and is scheduled to appear in court.
