(CNN) -- Police in eastern Canada announced Friday they "are reopening the investigation involving Rehtaeh Parsons," the 17-year-old who tried to kill herself after she was allegedly gang-raped and bullied.
Rehtaeh, a high school student from Halifax, Nova Scotia, was taken off life support Sunday, three days after she attempted to hang herself.
The HRM Partners in Policing -- which includes Halifax Regional Police and a locally based division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police -- said in a statement Friday it was reviewing the case "in light of new and credible information that has recently been brought forward to police."
The alleged sexual assault happened in November 2011 when Rehtaeh was 15, her family said. Police investigated, but no criminal charges were filed.

Anonymous is threatening to release the names of the boys in this case if the police don't take action.
It IS epidemic and the consequences need to be MUCH harsher.
Why aren't these kids getting charged with distribution of child pornography (at minimum)? I don't know if it's entirely true but I've told both my kids if they "sext" out a naked photo of themselves when they're under 18, they could be charged with distribution of child pornography. Am I wrong?
