The jury in the British Columbia Supreme Court trial of Aydin Coban has found him guilty on all charges he faced.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-DUTCH POLICEA Dutch man accused of tormenting British Columbia teen Amanda Todd via online threats has been found guilty of all charges he faced in connection with the case, a jury ruled on Saturday.
The harrowing account, seen by millions of viewers since her death, saw her using flash cards to describe the torment from her anonymous cyberbully. Her plea and subsequent death shone a light on the issue of online harassment and cyberbullying. At the beginning of the trial she said Todd had been the victim of a persistent campaign of online “sextortion” over three years before her death.
His defence didn’t call any witnesses in the case and his lawyer Joseph Saulnier told the jury in closing arguments that fragments of data cited by police at the trial could not link Coban to the extortion or harassment of Todd.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.A Dutch court approved Coban’s extradition to Canada after his trial there on similar allegations.
