Guelph police say a second teenager has been arrested after explicit photos of his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend were shared online.
Last week, police announced they had arrested a 14-year-old girl and charged her with child pornography-related offences.
It came after the mother of a 14-year-old boy called the police to report that photos of her son had been posted online through a popular social media site, police said.
