Rehtaeh Parsons case prompts warning to possible vigilantes

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 11 April 2013 | 21.48

A group reported to be the infamous hackers Anonymous says it will avenge the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, despite a plea from police urging people not to take justice into their own hands.

The 17-year-old died Sunday she was taken off life-support, three days following her attempt to take her own life. Her mother, Leah Parsons, alleges Rehtaeh was raped by four boys who took photos of the incident, which she says sparked bullying and harassment.

No charges have been laid.

The unidentified group said it has identified four boys connected to the case.

"What we have learned is certainly appalling, but it wasn't the act of rape that shocked us. It was the behavior of the adults in Rehtaeh's life that we found most disturbing," wrote the group in a release sent out Thursday morning.

RCMP in Halifax issued a statement Wednesday night after reports suggested harm against people involved in the investigation.

Cpl. Scott MacRae says police are seeing misinformation on traditional and social media.

"At this time we can honestly say we're confident we know the identities of the people involved in Rehtaeh's rape. It would probably take us a lot longer to come up with a list of the people responsible for her death," said Anonymous.

"Just to clear things up once and for all for the young men in Nova Scotia who are unlikely to hear this from any of their role models: vomiting drunk girls are not capable of giving you consent to have sex with them."

Others blamed for teen's death

The group doesn't solely place the blame on the alleged perpetrators.

"We're talking about the school teachers, administrators, the police and prosecutors, those who should have been role models in the late Rehtaeh's life," read the statement.

"We point our fingers at the Cole Harbour school system. It is truly disturbing that this level of bullying could happen in one of your schools without you noticing.

"Ross Landry's reversal of his decision [to] not investigate this case after a media blitz is clearly an indication that his sudden interest is purely an act of public relations damage-control," the release said about Nova Scotia's justice minister.

Anonymous is calling for people to hold a peaceful demonstration outside police headquarters to demand justice this weekend.
