And now a second extradition request has been launched by the federal Crown in regards to the Whitchurch-Stouffville native's alleged crimes in relation to two teenagers in the United States. The 30-year-old has been in jail for three years after police say he blackmailed a 17-year-old Virginia Beach girl into abusing her 13-year-old sister over a webcam. It is alleged the medical student met the girl on Skype before telling her if she didn't acquiesce to his demands, he would install a virus on her computer. The abuse was described by an Ontario judge as "sadistic" conduct that verged on "torture". His appeal was successful after a judge said the Crown failed to prove it was him on the other end of the computer at the time of the alleged incident. He will be in court to face the new charges Sept. 8. ­ Jeremy Grimaldi NEWS ONLINE yorkregion.com WHY PAY MORE?
