Charges withdrawn against six teens...

Charges against six teenagers, accused of harassing
a 16-year old girl for more than a year, have been
withdrawn.
The teens have accepted a peace bond offer.
Under the conditions of the bond, they must stay
away from the victim and from their former school,
James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School.
The move means that the six, all charged with
criminal harassment and uttering threats, will
have no criminal record.
Four other teenagers refused the peace bond
offer and will return to court May 10.
Four teens have already entered a diversion
program to avoid trial in the case.
The other two charged with the most serious
allegations of sexual assault will likely go to trial.
The teens were arrested last November after a
girl told a teacher at James Cardinal McGuigan
Catholic High School that she had suffered 14 months
of sexual abuse and harassment.

It's amazing how deals are made...isn't it?
