A
Canadian minister of justice is seeking answers in the investigation
into the alleged rape by four teenagers of Nova Scotian teen Rehtaeh Parsons, who hanged herself last week after what her mother says was
months of bullying.
RehtaehParsons, 17, was taken off life-support Sunday on her mother
authorization after she hanged herself at home in Cole Harbour last
week. Nova Scotia Justice Minister Ross Landry said Tuesday that he
hopes to meet with Parsons' mother, Leah, to "discuss her
experience with the justice system." Landry has been reviewing
details of the case and consulting with officials, according to a
statement.
"I
know that law enforcement and the public prosecution service do their
best, every day, to administer and enforce the law," Landry
said. "I am committed to exploring the mechanisms that exist to
review the actions of all relevant authorities to ensure the system
is always working to the best of its ability, in pursuit of justice."
In
a lengthy post on a Facebook tribute page to
her daughter, Leah Parsons outlined what she says led to her
daughter's suicide. In November 2011, Parsons said, Rehtaeh went with
a friend to another's home, where she was raped by four teenage boys.
"One
of those boys took a photo of her being raped and decided it would be
fun to distribute the photo to everyone in Rehtaeh's school and
community, where it quickly went viral," Parsons wrote. "Because
the boys already had a 'slut' story, the victim of the rape Rehtaeh
was considered a SLUT." Read more..
