The Creep Who Allegedly Tormented Amanda Todd Says He Protected Her

• Suspected Amanda Todd Blackmailer Outs Second Pedo Cyberstalker
• Kody Maxson Blackmail Victim: ‘I Gave Him What He Wanted’

UPDATE: Alleged Amanda Todd blackmailer Kody Maxson outed a second pedophile blackmailer, known as Viper — and Anonymous has more info.

When a 15-year-old girl is exploited, blackmailed, harassed and abused to the point of suicide, of course you wanna know who’s behind it so you can kick his teeth in.

So it makes sense that after a slew of threats from vigilante justice-enforcers, the accused — a Vancouver man — might try to pre-empt the imminent sh*tstorm and contact law enforcement.

Just one day after hacker group Anonymous released the alleged identity of Amanda Todd’s tormenter, a man with the same name appeared in court for charges of sexual assault and sexual interference of a person under 16.

Outside the court, a reporter asked if Maxson knew Amanda Todd. They were “friends,” he responded. He claims he tried to protect her by helping to identify a man in New York who was harassing her. He says he turned in the information to officials.

Now he wants to protect himself. He recently scrubbed his online footprint of anything connecting him to child porn — including images of sexualized teens he traded in jailbait forums.

Three years ago, when Todd was barely 14, a stranger coerced her into exposing her breasts online. A year later, the same stranger contacted her, threatening to spread screenshots of Todd to her friends and family if she didn’t “give him a show.” She refused, and the man, true to his word, passed images of the preteen to her close contacts.

In a haunting self-produced video, Todd writes her story on index cards: Her peers at school began harassing her, abusing her verbally and physically. She turned to drugs. She attempted to take her own life by drinking bleach. And a week ago, after she posted this plea for help, she tried to kill herself again — and succeeded.

Maxson’s info matches that of a user known as Kody1206 on teen chat hub Blogtv (where Todd was an active user) and various jailbait hubs. But what do we really know about Kody, and how is he connected to Amanda Todd? Very little, and there’s nothing conclusive IDing him as the one who blackmailed and harassed her.

From the Daily Dot:

In a single image, NJAnon collated what it said were Maxson’s pseudonymous (and apparently recently altered)Facebook account, his uploads to a Web forum called Jailbait Gallery, his address, a Google street view image of the house, conversations in which Maxson is berated for lying about his age on BlogTV, his Google+ account, his alma mater (a school for youth with emotional and behavioural issues) and more.

The Pastebin includes links to his Facebook photos (now set to private), lists of his social media accounts and accounts on teen pics sites sites and sites like Jailbait and Teenhut, among other details. Back in March someone uploaded a chat snippet to Pastebin that seems to show Maxson threatening a teen. Although there’s a censored picture of Amanda Todd apparently flashing the camera, there’s nothing in the roundup image or pastebin that specifically ties Maxson to her case. He was seemingly in certain places online at certain times doing certain activities that got him called out, but as is often the case, the web is mystifyingly short on specifics.

Still, Anonymous says they plan on ruining him. But the attack is off to a bad start: What was supposedly Maxson’s address actually belongs to a man named Simpson, who stated, “Not really, we’ve got nothing to do with this. So you can start looking somewhere else. ‘Cause it’s not here, I can tell you right now.” Police investigated and left within 15 minutes.

Here’s the info Anonymous compiled. Click for big:

It’s a strong connection, and enough for police — not citizens, but actual law-enforcers — to begin to make a move. Internet Justice may have been enough to send Maxson running to police (and we’ll continue to update the story with news as it unfolds), but it’s a sorry precedent.

Signy Arnasen of cybertip.ca, a child anti-exploitation group, had the last word on CBC.ca: “Being sexually curious is not an abnormal thing as an adolescent. It’s quite developmentally normal. The problem is that when you combine it with the online world then the effects can be devastating.”

  2. Perhaps though what makes ‘Anonymous’ recent efforts particularly worrisome is the fact that the outlet is in essence behaving just as capriciously as the individual it has accused of blackmailing Todd, which raises questions as to how this type of ‘internet’ justice is to exist side by side with our present legal system? Or is that to say anonymous is only attempting to address flaws within crime and punishment albeit in its own very special clandestine way….?

  3. he will be punished and those who think they cannot be found think again.

  4. Why wasn’t this pervert busted the first time he sent her picture of flashing at age 12. Makes me think the police are morons and could’ve saved this girl. I don’t trust the legal system. This guy will probably get a slap on the wrist. I applaud anonymous and who ever takes this creep out. Sometimes I feel like being a “boondock saint”. If you’ve never seen the movie, watch it!

  5. hey i just met you
    and this is crazy
    just flashed my [chest]
    this bleach looks tasty

  7. Hopefully your mom will die slowly of cancer and you will suffer through it.

  8. It’s sad that she killed herself, but what makes her more important than other people that kill themselves? Oh I know, it’s because she’s somewhat pretty, that’s why people pretend to care…

  9. I don’t think Anonymous ever mentioned anything about “justice”. Only that they will find and out him. Expect them.

  11. ive been in the same position, blackmailed by someone online. i contacted the police and they did aboslutely nothing.

  12. Erm not condoning the comment from the troll but isnth wishing death upon him and his mother not the same thing that drove this young girl to suicide? People don’t value life anymore…

  13. That’s why I love what anonymous did. And that’s why I applaud anyone who takes the creep out. Not only has anonymous found out that he has done this Amanda, but he has more victims. And to answer Juan. What makes people care is the fact that this girl didn’t deserve a life of hell for showing her boobs. Not the fact she was pretty. That’s why most everyone’s focus is on creep kody maxson now. Everyone wants justice to be served. I want it to be served by a “boondock saint” and not the law enforcement. Cuz they’re not very good at there job. They would of probably never found out about him without anonymous. Otherwise don’t you think the creep would’ve been arrested the first time he sent the pictures out

  15. This guy does suck not yvetre but lololol….. He does deserve karma. Let the dead rest in peace. Lololol…. probably one of the bullies that lead her to suicide.

  16. I believe in the work of Anonymous and in this case I hope they find the person responsible for this girls death! I want to know who could do something so evil to a young girl! That person is the scum of the earth and I commend Anonymous for vigilante justice!!!

  17. In the comic and movies of Batman, there are two kinds of people, those who love what he does and those who say he’s a criminal because they don’t like the way he fights crime on his own terms. Anonymous is no different. Kody Maxson got Anonymous’ attention, so they exploited him. There is nothing capricious about their actions at all. Not at all.

  18. That’s one opinion. Another would be because of the way it went down and covers so many different issues facing teenagers. It’s not just “ugly” or “unfortunate” kids that are bullied, but when they are we just pick on them with sarcastic comments like “oh their life must be so hard being pretty”…and bla bla bla…. I suppose you say this every single time someone commits suicide and gets in the news, unless ofcourse they’re not “pretty”. Good job.

  20. How about the teenagers! I know the guy lit the match, but the schools and teenagers that participated were the fire, and they need to take some responsibility. The guy needs to punished, but those teenagers that bullied her need to be outed also!

  23. An eye for an eye. Pain for pain. Justice does not exist. Only force.

  24. It seems as though not only the man who started this hell train needs to be punished. It seems as though there are several schools full of kids who need to be punished.They are just as responsible as he is.

  30. Another one bites the dust…people have lived through much worse…I.e people who lived through the holocaust and didn’t commit suicide, people who commit suicide are flawed genetically and I’m glad she is out of the gene pool, what a wimp, I was bullied in highschool for being a nerd, weird (because I was smart), and ugly, she was a slut, got burned, then killed herself, sorry but I have no sympathy

  31. To all the people who has said negative things about Amanda should be ashamed of y’all’s self. Just because she did what she did doesn’t mean yu should say bad things about her. God dont like ugly and karma is a mug . Always remedial that.

  33. Hi, I accomplish deem this is an first-rate tangle position. I stumbledupon it I will re-examine in spite of that over because i have bookmarked it. Currency and freedom is the supreme sense to vary, could you live full and continue to guide others.
