After repeatedly being asked for over a year to bare her breasts on camera, Todd did so on a webcam stream. Sometime later, a stranger (presumably Coban) appeared to her, having saved a frame via screen capturing, threatening to send the topless photo to her friends, teachers, and relatives, unless she met his demands. Todd, however, didn't think about what he said too much. | ||

She wrote that she experienced anxiety, depression, and panic disorder due to having been sexually exploited online and cyberbullied. Her family moved to a new home, where Todd later said she began using alcohol and other drugs. | Todd later stated that during her Christmas 2010 break, police came to her home around 4 AM, informing her that the photo was circulating on the Internet.
