Remaining eight referred to youth protection<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

By Robert Frank <\/b>
\nwww.thesuburban.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The Crown prosecutor has dropped charges against two of the ten teenage boys whom Laval Police charged with producing, possessing and distributing child pornography<\/a>, Nov. 14. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith respect to those two [boys], there was insufficient evidence to proceed<\/a>,\u201d Crown prosecutor spokesman Jean Pascal Boucher told The Suburban.<\/i> \u201cTherefore their file was closed. The eight others received extrajudicial punishments.\u201d <\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s Youth Criminal Justice Act permitted the teens to take responsibility for their actions without having to plead guilty to the criminal charges<\/a>. Instead, the court assigned youth workers to supervise their punishment. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe file will be back in court between mid-December and mid-January, in order to assess whether the judicial consequences were indeed met,\u201d Boucher said in an interview. <\/p>\n

Police said last year that the highly publicized dawn arrests were meant to send a message to the youth. <\/p>\n

However, The Suburban<\/i> subsequently learned that the charges had the opposite effect, and turned the boys into heroes among their peers.<\/p>\n

The newspaper also learned that Sir Wilfred Laurier School Board officials, who expressed dismay at how the justice system shunted them aside, issued a gag order barring staff from discussing the arrests. <\/p>\n

The case attracted worldwide attention and raised important questions of jurisprudence, since Canada\u2019s child pornography law is aimed at protecting youth from adult predators. <\/p>\n

In addition, although Canadian law is supposed to treat both sexes equally, only the boys, aged 13-15, were charged with being child pornographers. None of the seven girls who took the saucy photos faced criminal sanctions. <\/p>\n

Laval Police told The Suburban<\/i> that none of the girls were coerced or threatened or intimidated into sending the photos, and that juvenile prostitution\u2014which remains a serious problem in Laval\u2014was not involved in this case. <\/p>\n

\nInstead, they said that they intervened briskly because the degree of anger expressed by the girls\u2019 parents.<\/p>\n
