Judges in Amsterdam said Thursday they need more information from Canadian authorities as they consider the sentence of a Dutch man convicted in Canada last year of crimes, including extortion and harassment of Canadian teenager Amanda Todd.

The ruling delayed legal moves to convert Aydin Coban's 13-year Canadian sentence into a Dutch prison term in the notorious case of online extortion.

Coban blackmailed the 15-year-old to expose herself in front of a webcam. She took her own life in 2012 after recounting her ordeal in a YouTube video watched by millions around the world.

In a brief court hearing Thursday at which a new sentence was expected to be announced, a judge instead said that the panel at Amsterdam District Court needs clarification from Canada about the most likely date Coban would be released if he were to serve his sentence in a Canadian prison.

"We have to take into account when he actually would have been released and Canadian authorities have given a couple of possible dates, but don’t say this is the most likely date that he would be released," Coban's lawyer Robert Malewicz told reporters at the courthouse.

No new date was set for a hearing in the case. The sentencing ruling can still be appealed in the Dutch Supreme Court.

Coban was already serving an 11-year sentence in the Netherlands for similar crimes targeting more than 30 other victims when he was extradited to Canada to face trial in the Todd case. Her death brought the issue of cyberbullying to mainstream attention in Canada.

He was sent to Canada on the condition that he served any sentence imposed there in a Dutch prison. The Canadian sentence also has to be converted to Dutch sentencing norms.

Prosecutors said two weeks ago that under Dutch law, he should serve four and a half years.

Malewicz, called the Canadian sentence "exorbitantly high, even by Canadian standards." He said that Coban shouldn’t get any extra prison time, but if he does, it should be no more than one year, with six months suspended. That would mean Coban would only have to serve an extra six months if he commits another offense.

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley called on Republicans in Congress to get more aggressive on investigating the FBI Thursday after Director Christopher Wray's "maddening" testimony to the House Judiciary Committee. Turley told "Fox & Friends" it's time for lawmakers to "ramp it up" in response to the director's "obviously false" answers on censorship during Wednesday's hearing.

JONATHAN TURLEY: It was a false appearance of contrition and substance from the director. You know, he only apologized for things that are violations that have already been found by courts and Congress, by the way, against the best efforts of the FBI. And so for things that are already established, he went ahead and said, well, we'll never do that again. But in terms of the violations that we've already laid out, in terms of censorship, FISA violations with the secret court, those are already laid out in the public record. He just refused to comment. Sometimes he said that he didn't have any recollection and it was a maddening experience… Congress has to make a decision here. You know, they just went through an entire hearing where they were given nothing. He was far more detailed when Eric Swalwell asked him about the FBI family day. With that he just held forth at length. But when he's asked about censorship, he gives answers that seem rather obviously false. You know, he said that the FBI focused on foreign disinformation. That's just not true. I mean, we have the emails. I mean, at some point you're treating the public like chumps. 

…

They've got to start using subpoena power. They've got to start to insist on production. The Republicans are playing a harder game now, but they're going to have to ramp it up. They're going to have to be more nimble in these hearings and more aggressive in pursuing this material.

Wray said during the contentious House committee hearing on FBI oversight that it is "somewhat insane" for anyone to suggest that he harbors a bias against conservatives.

"Well, first off, I would disagree with your characterization of the FBI and certainly your description of my own approach," Wray said in response to a grilling from Wyoming Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman over accusations that the FBI has become "weaponized" against conservatives.

"The idea that I'm biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background," Wray, a registered Republican, added.
