What has happened to Amanda’s Dutch predator? Aydin Coban is a Dutch national who was convicted of multiple charges related to the online harassment and extortion of Amanda Todd, a Canadian teenager who tragically took her own life in 2012. Coban's actions included using numerous aliases to manipulate and threaten Amanda, demanding explicit content and then sharing it online when she refused to comply. 

In 2022, Coban was sentenced to 13 years in prison by the British Columbia Supreme Court for extortion, possession of child pornography, child luring, and criminal harassment. However, in 2023, a Dutch court reduced his sentence to six years, which he has started to serve after he completed an 11-year sentence in the Netherlands for similar crimes involving the online extortion of other young girls and gay men. 

Coban's case has highlighted the severe impact of cyberbullying and online exploitation, leading to increased awareness and discussions about the importance of online safety and mental health support.
