HALIFAX – A second young man who pleaded guilty in the Rehtaeh Parsons child pornography case is scheduled to be sentenced today in a Halifax court.
The 19-year-old man pleaded guilty in November to distributing a sexually graphic image of Parsons, who was 15-years-old at the time of the incident.
The man cannot be identified because he was a minor at the time of the offence in the fall of 2011.
A 20-year-old man also charged in the case was given a conditional discharge in November after he pleaded guilty to making child pornography by taking a photo of the accused having sex with the girl.
His identity is also protected because he was a minor at the time.
The 17-year-old Parsons was taken off life-support in April 2013 after a suicide attempt her parents say was the result of relentless cyberbullying.
