Dutch Prosecutor Michiel Swinkels and Amanda Todds

Amanda Todds: Aydin Coban was arrested in a house south of Amsterdam in January after Dutch authorities accused him of using his computer to extort money from girls, boys and even older men, according to CTV. We re looking at approximately 30 or 40 possible victims in the Netherlands, said Dutch prosecutor Michiel Swinkels. They have not all been identified and we re thinking there are dozens of victims abroad and The Dutch man arrested in connection with Amanda Todds suicide is unlikely to ever face trial in Canada, according to a veteran immigration lawyer. Officials allege that Coban enticed his victims to strip on webcam and then used screen captures of the footage as blackmail material. One of his alleged victims was 15-year-old Port Coquitlam resident Amanda Todd, who took her own life in 2012 after years of torment at the hands of what was then believed to be an online bully.
