Dutch court approves extradition for man accused in Amanda Todd cyberbully case
PORT COQUITLAM, B.C. — The mother of a British Columbia teenager who took her own life after enduring cyberbullying says it’s “just surreal” that the Dutch man charged in her daughter’s case has been approved for extradition to Canada.
“Today is my birthday and this is the best birthday present ever,” Amanda Todd’s mother Carol Todd said from her home in Port Coquitlam.
The Dutch Supreme Court has approved the extradition of Aydin Coban. The RCMP laid charges of extortion, importing or distributing child pornography, possessing child pornography and child luring against the 38-year-old in 2014, two years after Amanda Todd, who was 15, died by suicide.
None of the allegations have been tested in a Canadian court.
