The man accused of tormenting Amanda Todd before her suicide will not face charges in her case in the Netherlands.
The lawyer representing Aydin Coban says Todd’s entire case is being left out of the Dutch prosecution against him. Christian Van Dijk, Coban’s lawyer, says he believes it is because Canadian prosecutors are trying to have Coban extradited here to face similar charges.
