- The Dutch Supreme Court has rejected Aydin Coban's bid to scrap his Canadian sentence for tormenting Amanda Todd, a teenager from B.C. Who died by suicide in 2012.
- Coban was convicted in 2022 by the B.C. Supreme Court of extortion and harassment, receiving a 13-year sentence that was later converted to six years by Dutch authorities.
- The Dutch Supreme Court upheld the converted sentence, stating that rules from the Dutch Criminal Code did not apply to the Canadian sentence conversion.
- Coban had previously been sentenced to almost 11 years in prison in the Netherlands for similar online offences involving 34 girls and five gay men.
