Toronto Teen Sentenced to Probation in 2022 Homeless Man's Death

First of eight teens charged in Kenneth Lee's death will serve probation and participate in a community-based program.

The 13-year-old girl, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter, will not serve further jail time but will complete 15 months of probation.
Justice David Stewart Rose cited the teen's accountability and the institutional malfeasance she experienced while in custody as factors in the sentencing.
Kenneth Lee, a 59-year-old homeless man, was swarmed and stabbed to death by a group of girls in December 2022.
Seven other teens involved in the case face various charges, with three having already pleaded guilty and four set to stand trial next year.
The sentenced teen must follow mental health treatment, adhere to a 10-year weapons prohibition, and avoid contact with her co-accused.
