A second young man accused in a prominent child pornography case in Halifax has pleaded guilty.
The man, who cannot be identified because he was a minor at the time of the offence in the fall of 2011, pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of distributing child pornography and he will be sentenced Jan. 15.
A 20-year-old man also charged in the case was given a conditional discharge earlier this month after he pleaded guilty to making child pornography.
An agreed statement of facts delivered in that man's case in September says he took a photograph of another male youth who smiled and gave a thumbs up while having sex with a 15-year-old girl who was vomiting out a window.
In reading the agreed statement of facts into the court record, the Crown said the girl was not aware that the picture was being taken and did not give consent to it.
The Crown also said that the man in that case told police he sent the photo to the male youth who had sex with the girl and he is not alleged to have sent it to anyone else.
