A 17-year-old who downloaded videos of the Christchurch mosque shootings and showed it to other students at his school has been discharged without conviction.
The teenager pleaded guilty to possessing objectionable material at the Thames District Court last month.
His name and the name of the North Island school have been permanently suppressed.
Today Judge Christina Cook said the school's principal found the young man with a USB containing multiple videos of the Christchurch shooting and a copy of the accused gunman's manifesto in early April.
