Finally in the trial of Dutchman Aydin Coban, Kristen LeNoble told jurors that Todd made the post shortly before receiving a message from another Facebook user asking her to perform sexual “exposures” on camera or that videos of his exposure would be sent her breasts.  to her family and her classmates.
	The teenager from Port Coquitlam, BC, had recently moved with her father to a nearby community and started attending a new school, LeNoble said.
	Coban has pleaded not guilty to extortion, harassment, contacting a juvenile for a sexual offense and possession of child pornography.
	LeNoble began closing arguments Tuesday by telling jurors the Crown would spend the next few days helping them “unpack” the significant amount of evidence, including testimony from more than 30 witnesses and binders full of 80 exhibits.
	By the time they were done, he said, the Crown would have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Coban was the person behind 22 separate online aliases used to extort Todd many years before he died almost a decade ago.
	Some of the messages feigned support and tried to build a relationship of trust with Todd, while others threatened to destroy her life, LeNoble told the jury.
	LeNoble showed jurors a message the harasser sent to Todd’s family and school administrators while posing as a member of a child protective agency, which included a link to a pornographic website that featured a video of the teenager.
	He described how another Facebook alias was used to send messages with the same link to 99 users from Todd’s friends list on the social networking site.
	The molestation began shortly before Todd turned 13 in November 2009, she said.
	“Pretty nice guy,” LeNoble said, reading one of the messages where the harasser threatened to publicly share a video of Todd exposing her breasts.
	“You will do as you are told… I already have 17 people in your family, 52 classmates and teachers of your school through their official website.  I can send them right now, along with child protective services, to come after you,” she read.
	“Your life will never be the same… Or you do as I say, and after 10 shows where you do as I say, I disappear, like nothing happened,” read the message, which LeNoble called ” real sledgehammer of a harassing, blackmailing and luring message’.
	Crown prosecutor Louise Kenworthy told jurors at the start of the trial nearly two months ago that Todd had been the victim of a persistent online “blackmail” campaign three years before her death aged 15 in October 2012.
	Carol Todd testified that her daughter was afraid when she brought messages to her attention, and Amanda’s distress increased with each incident.
	LeNoble showed jurors a message Amanda had sent to her cousin and other people she knew after the video of her exposing her breasts was distributed.
	In the message, Amanda said she had a “flash” for “200 guys” on YouTube last year because they were “begging” and she “thought it wouldn’t matter.”
	The message shows that the teenager then wrote that she “ruined” her life with this video because of the harassment and blackmail that followed.
