The man accused in the cyberbullying case of British Columbia teen Amanda Todd has denied the allegations against him in a letter released by his lawyer.

Aydin Coban was arrested in the Netherlands last year. He is suspected of possessing child pornography and blackmailing and harassing victims over the Internet with naked images of themselves.

Todd, who was sexually exploited online, died by suicide in October 2012. Her story garnered international attention after a YouTube video surfaced in which the teen held up handwritten signs detailing what happened to her.

The letter from Coban is written in English and it says he’s been in jail for a year, but hasn’t been charged in connection with the Todd case. The letter says despite that, the worldwide media has branded him the monster behind it.

2. His letter refutes nothing, only recognizes it as circumstantial. He doesn't refute only denies ....

without any explanation. He seems pretty darn creepy.
