A group of hackers are claiming to know the identity of the bully said to be responsible for the suicide of Canadian teen Amanda Todd.
The group, called Anonymous, revealed the alleged bully's name, location, birthday year and address on Pastebin.com.
Todd said in a viral video that a man made her show him her breasts and publicly posted the photos online, blackmailing her. This is what led to her depression and eventual suicide. The man is identified as a 30-year-old from New Westminster, British Columbia, the Huffington Post reports.
The post said this is the man who "Extorted amanda todd for pictures. This is the pedophile that social engineered Amanda Todd into supplying him nude pictures."
HuffPo also reported that Vice was also had its own trackdown of the alleged bully. Vice posted Google Map screen shots of the house, his Facebook profile and chat conversations.
"We generally don't like to deal with police first hand but were compelled to put our skills to good use protecting kids," Anonymous wrote in an email. "Ironically we have some good people in Vancouver who brought this to our admin's attention. It's a very sad story that affects all of us."
In even more shocking details, the man Anonymous accused of bullying recently appeared in court on sexual abuse and sexual assault charges on a minor, HuffPo reports.
Todd, 16, posted a video on YouTube Sept. 7 with flashcards detailing a battle of depression and harassment brought on by the anonymous bully. She committed suicide Oct. 10.
