An Ontario judge found a youth guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and facilitating terrorist activity after an alleged 2023 plan to kill Jewish people in Ottawa.
The Story
An Ontario Superior Court judge has found a youth guilty of two terrorism-related charges connected to an alleged 2023 plan to kill Jewish people in Ottawa.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Kerry McVey found the young person guilty of conspiracy to commit murder through involvement with a terrorist group, and of facilitating terrorist activity by seeking to acquire a prohibited firearm. The judge also found him not guilty of facilitating terrorist activity by making instructional material and propaganda available.
The youth cannot be legally identified due to his age and had pleaded not guilty to all three charges. His trial began in April.
Justice McVey concluded that the youth conspired with his co-accused and another individual who was not charged in a plan to kill innocent people. The excerpt also says the co-accused—also unable to be identified due to age—was found guilty on four charges a day before the youth’s trial began.
