Child porn probe man still in west Cork

THE man at the centre of a major child pornography investigation has not moved out of west Cork, despite local concerns about allegations he had taken sexually explicit pictures of young girls and posted them on the internet.

People living in Castletownbere were shocked yesterday morning to learn that the man in his mid 20s had been interviewed in their local garda station by a team of detectives from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigations.

However, it emerged later in the day that the young man was not from the area, although he does live in another village in west Cork. He was taken to Castletownbere Garda Station because the district headquarters in Bantry didn’t have the necessary interview room facilities.
