A mandatory publication ban that exists on any case involving a victim of child pornography has been struck down in B.C. Supreme Court after a successful constitutional challenge, allowing media to report that the alleged victim in the case is Amanda Todd. 

Todd is the 15-year-old Port Coquitlam girl who took her own life in 2012 after posting a video in which she used flash cards to describe how she sank into depression after being exploited online. 

Dutch man Aydin Coban was charged with extortion, criminal harassment, child luring and child pornography relating to her case.
