Dutch authorities have dropped charges against the man accused of extorting Amanda Todd, whose suicide started a national conversation about cyberbullying.
The B.C. teen took her own life in 2012, shortly after she posted a video in which she silently used flashcards to describe her encounters with a person she said was her online tormentor.
Aydin Coban is accused of producing and distributing child pornography of multiple victims in several countries, including Todd.
It's alleged he pressured underage girls and men into performing sexual acts on webcams and then blackmailed them.
Prosecutors now say they will only pursue charges for Dutch victims.
Carol Todd, Amanda’s mother, told CTV News Channel she believes that Coban was never charged in the Netherlands in relation to her daughter’s case.
She said the B.C. RCMP are still pursuing charges.
"Those charges still stand, and our B.C. Crown is still looking at extraditing him," Carol Todd said.
The force previously said they were laying five charges against Coban, including extortion, criminal harassment, Internet luring and child pornography.
"There is no talk that they will drop this, so I can only hope that that's what happens," she said.
Earlier this year, Coban wrote an open letter denying he was Todd’s “so-called tormentor.”
“I’ve been in jail exactly a year now for things I haven’t done,” he wrote.
None of the allegations against Coban have been proven in any court of law.
