JUST IN: A judge has sentenced a man she called an 'internet sextortionist' to 13 years in prison for tormenting British Columbia teen Amanda Todd before she died by suicide.

Justice Martha Devlin of the B.C. Supreme Court says 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 calls for “sharp rebuke.” The story of the 15-year-old girl gained worldwide attention when she posted a video weeks before her death in 2012 using flash cards to explain how she was harassed and extorted by an anonymous online predator.

Devlin says Coban used an arsenal of fake social media sites and went to great lengths to search out Todd's family members and friends to maximize the harm after she pleaded for him to stop. Coban, who was extradited to Canada to face trial, is already serving an 11-year sentence in the Netherlands for similar crimes involving 33 youth, and Devlin says the 13-year term will be served consecutively, or on top of his sentence that ends in 2024.

janasoss Bubba is gonna love f*cking his face till the sob hangs it up

This is what we need the death penalty for!

.

I want to know how he got intimate pictures of her? Didn’t she take them herself?

That's good but he lives in another country is he actually going to do anytime

Should be 25

Wait? He did this while under Dutch imprisonment? Why was he allowed computer access

Took long enough!

Hope this guy rots!

He deserves No life! That's what Amanda has because of him!

He knew she was 12 when he started.

Probably would have been just as fitting to send to the asylum.

He doesn't look Dutch.

Put him in general population. Let the boys torment him.

This girl died from drinking BLEACH. Let that sink in for a minute. Do you know what that does to your organs? Canadian sentencing is a joke. He’ll never see a day of gen pop. We need to bring back the sword.

Deserves more , but for Canada, that's actually a hefty sentence

13 years After a case thats been going on for 10 years Be fucking real right now

He’ll be out in 5

They Dutch look different these days

Hope he gets a train run on him in the showers and have guards take pictures and send them to his friends. If he has any. Loser!!

He should’ve gotten life

Capital punishment

Perfect.

Our justice system is sooooo broken. Just sick.

How was he not registered as a Dangerous Offender? This seems crazy…

her story broke my heart when i heard about it a decade ago

While drivers who kill get off fat easier!

Oh shit wow they really got him wow I didn't think they'd ever find him good they did but wow only 13 years for abusing a minor tormenting her posting her nudes ect making her kill herself is not enuff

Not enough.

Good you should do the same To those scammers who scams people and people kill themselves Do the same thing Put them in prison those scammers

GOOD!!! Although he deserves LIFE!

He sure looks Dutch

He’s so ugly 🤮 🤢

Should be a lot more but it's something. I hope this gives Amanda's family at least some comfort.

hope he fucking rots in jail, disgusting creep sending love to Amanda’s family and friends, to those who all loved her

Not enough time at all wtf — he bullied a minor into killing herself

Plus he got 11 years in jail in the Netherlands for doing the same things to many other young kids.

What a deranged dude, he surely got a light sentence .

I wonder how much struggle she had accessing appropriate mental health services

Disgusting. Should be locked up for life.

1 year more than even the prosecution expected. I'll take that. It's not great but it's better than expected. RIP Amanda. 💔

Get rid of YCJA

And perps that commit firearm related offences get bail 🤦‍♂️…. Our system is to fuckeddddd no consistency… just flavour of day type shit

Meanwhile you kill 3 kids drunk driving and get 7 years
