    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Feb, 2016 01:46 PM
      HALIFAX — A provincial Justice Department official says CTV News in Halifax has pleaded guilty to violating the Youth Criminal Justice Act by showing the faces of young offenders during a broadcast last August.
       
      Halifax Regional Police say they received a complaint Aug 25, alleging the two youths had appeared on the six o'clock news the previous night in a clip showing them leaving a courthouse.
       
      Police say the news story dealt with a shooting in Cole Harbour, N.S., on Nov. 30, 2014.
       
      The identities of the youths are protected from being published or broadcast under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
       
      A call to CTV News seeking comment was not immediately returned.
       
      A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for March 21 in Halifax provincial court.
