Rehtaeh Parsons committed suicide in April at the age of 17 after allegedly having been gang-raped by four boys in 2011.
A photo of the alleged attack went viral, leading Ms. Parsons, of Nova Scotia, to reportedly suffer unremitting cyber-harassment until she took her own life.
To add grievous insult to unspeakable injury, Ms. Parsons's image was scraped by a Facebook advertiser and used to illustrate a dating ad.
