A youth in Saskatoon has been placed under a terrorism peace bond after an investigation into violent online posts. The bond, ordered this week in Saskatoon court, imposes restrictions on the teen, requiring them to maintain good behavior for a period not exceeding 12 months.
The RCMP laid charges of uttering threats against the youth earlier this year. The investigation stemmed from a report concerning an online account that was allegedly posting content related to violent extremism. Police have also charged another 14-year-old with uttering threats, who is scheduled to appear in court on June 24.
Under the terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the identities of the teens involved cannot be disclosed. The imposition of the peace bond signifies a legal measure to prevent potential future offenses by ensuring the youth's adherence to specific behavioral requirements.
