NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — The jury in the British Columbia Supreme Court trial of Aydin Coban has found him guilty on all charges he faced.

She was 15 years old when she died by suicide in 2012 after posting a video that described being tormented by an online harasser. 

Since her death, millions of people have watched the video.
