Dutch citizen Aydin Coban's sentence for extortion and other crimes is one year longer than what Crown prosecutors sought.
Today , the Dutch man who tormented her for two years was sentenced to 13 years in jail for his "persistent campaign" of online sextortion against the 15-year-old girl.
Devlin asked Coban to stand as she formally sentenced the man who is currently serving a 10-year sentence in the Netherlands for 68 convictions involving 33 girls. In August, after a nine-week trial at the New Westminster Law Courts, a jury found Coban guilty on five charges: Defence lawyer Joe Saulnier argued the Crown’s submission of a dozen more years in prison would bring Coban’s total sentence to around 22 years, an “excessive” and “crushing” length of time in custody, he said.
On her social media platforms, Todd begged for help and asked her followers to report her tormentor; however, he mocked her — calling her a “whore” and “liar” — and continued to pursue the girl as she changed municipalities and schools. Devlin also thanked the Crown and defence counsels for their professionalism during the lengthy trial.
