Porn charges in teen suicide case

Canadian police have said they hope the laying of child pornography charges against two teenagers in the Rehtaeh Parsons case will begin to ease the pain stemming from the 17-year-old girl’s death.

But they also acknowledged that not everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of a case that has sparked an international outpouring of anger.

One 18-year-old man faces two counts of distributing child pornography, while another 18-year-old man faces charges of making and distributing child pornography. Both accused are due in youth court in Halifax, Nova Scotia, next Thursday.
