The mother of a British Columbia teenager who died by suicide after years of cyberbullying and sextortion says the latest delay from a Dutch court just adds to her “never ending story.”
Carol Todd says she had hoped to learn the court would extend the prison sentence already facing Aydin Coban, the Dutch resident whose relentless stalking led to the death of 15-year-old Amanda Todd in 2012.
Instead, Todd says she has been told the Dutch court wants more specifics on when Coban might have been released in Canada if he had served the 13-year extortion and harassment sentence he received for her daughter’s death.
Coban is serving an 11-year term for similar crimes in Europe and Todd hopes Dutch judges will add significant time to that sentence to reflect the Canadian sentence, adding she is “really angry” about the latest delay.
