Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Feb, 2016 01:46 PM

HALIFAX — A provincial Justice Department official says CTV News in Halifax has pleaded guilty to violating the Youth Criminal Justice Act by showing the faces of young offenders during a broadcast last August.

Halifax Regional Police say they received a complaint Aug 25, alleging the two youths had appeared on the six o'clock news the previous night in a clip showing them leaving a courthouse.

Police say the news story dealt with a shooting in Cole Harbour, N.S., on Nov. 30, 2014.

The identities of the youths are protected from being published or broadcast under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

A call to CTV News seeking comment was not immediately returned.

A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for March 21 in Halifax provincial court.
