Gardaí to test computers in porn probe

FORENSIC gardaí are preparing to trawl through seven PCs and laptops suspected of containing child pornography after a raid on a house in Mayo.

Gardaí confirmed yesterday that a house was searched in Westport last Thursday with a warrant. The search was conducted under the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act and seven computers were seized.

The seizure is the first of its kind in Westport, according to local Superintendent Pat Doyle.
