b'Episode 252: Starting when\\xa0Amanda Michelle Todd\\xa0was just 11 years old, a person began a campaign of sexual extortion, relentless harassment and cyberbullying. Over the next three years, Amanda endured constant pressure from the man who used 22 online aliases on four different social media platforms to coerce and lure her into performing pornographic cam shows for him.\\nOn September 7, 2012, Amanda posted a now-famous video on YouTube in which she used a series of flashcards to tell her experience of being blackmailed into exposing her breasts via webcam, which later led to her being bullied and physically assaulted. The video gained global attention when it went viral after Amanda completed suicide at her family home in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, a month before her 16th birthday on October 10th, 2012. As of this writing, the video, still up on YouTube, is just about to crack 15 million views.\\nAmanda\\u2019s mother, Carol Todd, was driven by grief of her daughter\\u2019s loss to become an activist. She established the Amanda Todd Trust at the Royal Bank of Canada, which receives donations to support anti-bullying awareness education and programs for young people with mental health problems.\\nIn 2014, a Dutch-Turkish man,\\xa0Aydin Coban, in his 30s when the abuse of Amanda Todd began, was identified as the man who\\u2019d been harassing her and at least 39 other young girls and young gay males in the Netherlands, U.K., and Canada. After legal proceedings in the Netherlands wrapped up, Coban was imprisoned there. Although charged with five offences related to Amanda Todd here in Canada, Amanda\\u2019s family would have to wait for justice for her.\\nIn June 2022, almost ten years after Amanda\\u2019s death, after being extradited to Canada, Aydan Coban stood trial in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. On August 5, 2022, the jury found Coban guilty of all five of the charges he was facing.\\nSources:\\nAmanda Todd Legacy Society Official Site - Home\\nMy story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self-harm | YouTube\\nThe Story of Amanda Todd | The New Yorker\\n2022 BCSC 1810 (CanLII) | R. v Coban | CanLII\\nDutch man Aydin Coban convicted of sexually extorting B.C. teen Amanda Todd | CBC News\\nAmanda Todd - Transcript of video - Pastebin.com\\nAmanda Michelle \\u201cManda\\u201d Todd (1996-2012) - Find a Grave Memorial\\nGet help & support for suicide - Google Search Help\\nCanadian Association For Suicide Prevention\\nInternational Association for Suicide Prevention\\nAmanda Todd Legacy - Staying Strong\\nCarol Todd\\u2019s Snowflakes | http://amandatoddlegacy.org/\\nhttps://snowflakes4amanda.tumblr.com\\nMy Name is Amanda Todd | Life Reflected | National Arts Centre\\n\\u2018She shared everything with me\\u2019: Amanda Todd\\u2019s mother talks about her life with her daughter (with video)\\nTimeline of the Amanda Todd cyberbullying case | Vancouver Sun\\nTimeline: Amanda Todd investigation | CTV News\\nAmanda Todd blackmailer Kody Maxson outed another pedophile blackmailer\\nCyberbullying trial: Closing arguments in B.C. | CTV News\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
