Canada: Police Arrest 2 over Photos of Teen Who Committed Suicide After Alleged Rape 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Police in Canada have arrested two people in connection with the case of
Rehtaeh Parsons, a 17 year-old who committed suicide after a photo of
her alleged rape was posted online. Parsons was taken off life support
in April. Police originally said there was not sufficient cause to
charge anyone. They have now arrested two 18 year-olds on child
pornography charges.
