Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Aug, 2016 12:20 PM

BRIDGEWATER, N.S. — The case of a group of Nova Scotia teens charged with sharing intimate images of more than 20 underaged women has been adjourned until October.

Two 18-year-olds and four 15-year-olds are facing charges of distributing intimate images without consent and possessing and distributing child pornography.

Police in Bridgewater say images of more than 20 teen girls were circulated after allegedly being shared without consent in a Dropbox account.

The case for five of the six accused was adjourned today in Bridgewater provincial court until Oct. 5, though the judge said he would consider an earlier date if the defence and Crown can agree on one.

The sixth youth had already appeared in court and is expected to return on the same date.

Their identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
