Police have asked anybody who has shared or posted the video to remove it, in an effort to protect the victim. Minors can not be publicly identified as suspects under the Ontario Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Constable Talya Natyshak said in an email to Blackburn News that the investigation is ongoing and no further information will be released for the time being.
