Brothers jailed for 'relentless attack' in online cyberbullying of 14-year-old

  • Brothers jailed for 'relentless attack' in online cyberbullying of 14-year-old

DAUPHIN, Man. — Two Manitoba brothers have been sentenced to 16 months in jail for tormenting and sexually exploiting a 14-year-old girl online.

A judge says the two brothers from Dauphin met the girl on Facebook, where they threatened her unless she sent nude photos.

She complied and the judge says the girl was then subjected to what he called "relentless attack" with further demands for more explicit pictures and sexual acts.

The judge says the brothers, who were 17 at the time, distributed the photos through social media.

He says their only motivation appeared to be to — quote — "exploit, demean and humiliate the victim."

The brothers, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to four charges including sexual touching, as well as possession and distribution of child pornography.
