The Dutch Supreme Court has rejected online extortionist Aydin Coban’s bid to scrap his Canadian sentence for tormenting B.C. teenager Amanda Todd.

Coban is a Dutch national who was extradited, tried and given a 13-year sentence in B.C., before being sent back to the Netherlands where he was already serving time for separate offences.
