Lawyers near agreement in Nova Scotia intimate images case involving young girls
BRIDGEWATER, N.S. — Lawyers for six young men who admitted distributing intimate images of underage girls say they have almost reached agreement with prosecutors about the basic facts in the case.
The six were charged in July 2016 after police in Bridgewater, N.S., wrapped up a year-long investigation by alleging the high-school students had distributed intimate images of at least 20 girls.
Five of the six entered guilty pleas last month, while the sixth pleaded guilty last Wednesday.
In Bridgewater provincial court Wednesday, Crown attorney Peter Dostal said an agreed statement of facts — to be used at the young men’s July 31 sentencing — is nearly finalized.
