B.C. judge sentences scumbag 'sextortionist' to 13 years in case involving Amanda Todd

The man who tormented British Columbia teenager Amanda Todd before she died by suicide has been sentenced to an unprecedented 13 years in prison by a judge who branded him an “internet sextortionist.”

Justice Martha Devlin of the B.C. Supreme Court said Friday that Aydin Coban’s calculated conduct caused the girl mental anguish and social isolation, contributing to her suicide after he told Todd he would ruin her life.

The sentence is longer than the 12 years suggested by the Crown, but Devlin said Coban’s conduct called for “sharp rebuke.”

He enjoyed his victim’s escalating distress, she said. “Mr. Coban’s blameworthiness falls at the extreme end of the spectrum.”

Because this is an ongoing problem. Teens are not manure enough to handle those who would prey upon them and their vulnerabilities.

And anyone who does this and finds pleasure are disturb individuals.
