MRC des Collines-de-l’Outaouais police allege the teen was harassing the victim, who is also a youth, for months before his arrest.
Article content
The victim’s parents eventually filed a complaint against the suspect.
MRC police went to the 13-year-old’s home to make an arrest on April 14, but his parents were unco-operative. The officers left, but returned to the home on April 15 with a search warrant and arrested the boy.
Due to the severity of the charges, police said, the youth was held overnight before he appeared in youth court last Tuesday.
He was charged with criminal harassment, making threats to cause death or bodily harm, distribution of child pornography and unauthorized possession of prohibited or restricted weapons.
