Two 18-year-old men face child pornography charges in connection with the case of a 17-year-old girl who hanged herself after she was allegedly gang-raped and bullied online, Canadian authorities said Thursday evening.
A police statement did not provide details, but the family of Rehtaeh Parsons has said she developed suicidal thoughts after she was sexually assaulted in 2011 and a picture of the incident was shared by phone and online.
The two men whose names were not released were arrested Thursday morning at their homes in Halifax, Nova Scotia, according to Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Halifax Regional Police.
One man faces two counts of distribution of child pornography, authorities said. The other is accused of one count of distribution of child pornography and one count of making child pornography.
FULL STORY
This will be an interesting case. They'll prosecute two 18 year olds for something they did when they were 16 to a 15 year old. Will they face the penalties of adults? Hopefully.
Well personally, i hope they get the maximum sentence possible, either way!
They need to learn which head god intended them to THINK with!!!!
Corrupt minds and violence is what we have been witnessing in in some high profile cases recently, to the extent of extreme evil. The victims, always mostly females (perhaps have always been).
They would be sentenced and then some more would surface.
But then perhaps I seek gloom "which makes me happy" as one blogger said.
Nevertheless Good morning everyone.
Things that kids do today in school and on school buses, are not new in one way. In the late 60s and early 70s, I witnessed kids being assaulted and was myself. Nobody cared back then.
Same here @ Dan. But we DO care dont we? After my life experiences i will ALWAYS be a strong advocate against harming ANY child in ANY way!
This is a wholly awful case. That poor girl...may these animals be put down.
And good afternoon to you @ saywhat. And dont you believe that for one second! You are a decent human being and always respectful, one of the things i admire most about you. I read that post and it was made by the jacker so just consider the source and file 13 it forever!
😉
uhmmm, when ate they gonna charged them for wape???
You know, that's a very good question, unless they figure they can't prosecute because it's a he said/she said thing, and the poor girl is dead. Bleh.
Sure thing there Rastus Rabble
Yea except the perps posted pics of the incident online it says.
Sure, but very nasty lawyers can still claim it was (yuck) consensual; it's been done before. Blame the victim who can no longer speak for themselves...because they posted the pictures is likely why they were charged with what they were in the first place.
B@st@rds!!!
Fry em!
Prosecute the parents,they raised these little twerps.
Lol @ rupert. Rastus?? Who is that?
IIt's an insult. Google it.
They need to make an example of these two. Maximum penalty!
