An Edmonton teenager is facing new charges of terrorism, violating a terrorism peace bond, and child pornography offences, according to RCMP. The teen was already in custody for terrorism charges laid earlier this year.

The 15-year-old was originally arrested in May, accused of being involved with a “transnational online ecosystem of violent online predators” that lures children and teens, encouraging them to “commit sexual acts, self-harm, and the torture of animals,” RMCP said at the time.
