By Nadine YousifBBC News, Toronto
A Dutchman convicted of sexually extorting a teenage Canadian girl who later took her own life has been sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Aydin Coban, 44, will serve his sentence in the Netherlands, prosecutors in Org /Person' class='person_find_diger' data-tip='diger' data-kimlik='3841147'>British Columbia said.
He was convicted in August of child luring, child pornography, extortion and harassment of Org /Person' class='person_find_kisi' data-tip='kisi' data-kimlik='3841147'>Amanda Todd .
Amanda, who was then 15, posted a video in 2012 detailing how the cyber-stalker had tormented her.

He was later extradited to Canada where he faced the additional charges. He was not, however, charged with Amanda's death.
The 13-year sentence handed down on Friday will begin after the term imposed by the Dutch court has expired, said the Org /Person' class='person_find_diger' data-tip='diger' data-kimlik='3841147'>British Columbia Prosecution Service.

Amanda killed herself five weeks after uploading her widely watched YouTube video, and after explicit photos of her were leaked online.

He sent messages to her between 2009, starting when she was 13, and 2012. In some, he threatened to send explicit images of her to her friends, family and school staff if she didn't agree to give him a webcam " show".
Coban hid his Org /Person' class='person_find_diger' data-tip='diger' data-kimlik='3841147'>Ip Address , so police were not able to trace the messages back to him at Org /Person' class='person_find_kisi' data-tip='kisi' data-kimlik='3841147'>The Time .
During Coban's sentencing hearing Org /Person' class='person_find_diger' data-tip='diger' data-kimlik='3841147'>This Week , prosecutors argued for a 12-year prison term to protect other Org /Person' class='person_find_diger' data-tip='diger' data-kimlik='3841147'>Young People from his " repugnant" abuse. They said they believed Coban was at Org /Person' class='person_find_diger' data-tip='diger' data-kimlik='3841147'>High Risk of offending again.
Coban's defence lawyers had pushed for a two-year sentence, arguing a longer punishment would be " disproportionate" to the crimes he committed.
