A teenage girl charged in connection with the gang rape of a 13-year-old girl in Montreal North that was recorded and posted on social media will make her third appearance in court in as many days on Friday after she allegedly violated the conditions of a release hours after it was granted.

The accused, who is also 13, was released to the custody of her father Wednesday afternoon, but was re-arrested a few hours later for an alleged violation of one of her conditions. Montreal police spokesperson Constable Anie Lemieux said the girl was arrested Wednesday evening, but was unable to provide details.

As part of her release, the girl was required to be at home 24 hours a day except for school. She was allowed to leave her father’s house for other reasons if she was accompanied by a parent. Her father told CBC News that what happened was a misunderstanding and that he drove his daughter to an extracurricular event at her school on Wednesday. The school’s principal took his daughter aside and called the police, he said. The release the girl was granted is part of the Youth Criminal Justice Act that is designed to allow a youth charged with a crime to continue to attend school while their case is pending.
