Sourcing phone porn could pose problem

As gardaí continued to examine the photograph yesterday in a bid to identify the girl who was pictured on a couch in a sexually explicit position, there were fears the perpetrator might not be found if a bill-pay phone was not used.

Ready-to-go phones are also commonly used by criminal gangs because their owners cannot be traced. This led to calls last night for all phones to be registered.
