A 13-year-old Gatineau boy has been arrested for a series of online harassment charges after he allegedly harassed another Hills minor for several months. 

According to an MRC des Collines Police press release, the alleged victim’s parents reported the online harassment after they say their child suffered from the “suspect’s wrath” for several months.

Police began an investigation into the matter and showed up at the teen’s home to arrest him on April 14 but were forced to return with a search warrant the following day after his parents refused to cooperate, according to the release.

Police arrested the 13-year-old April 15, and he appeared in a youth court on April 16. He was charged with criminal harassment, making threats of death or bodily harm, distribution of juvenile pornography and unauthorized possession of restricted weapons. He was released on several conditions, including restricted access to social media. The teen is also barred from using the internet or other digital networks without adult supervision. 

Police did not disclose the details of the harassment or provide any other information.
