Child porn user to ask judge to put editor in jail

CONVICTED child porn user Barry Watters is to ask a judge to jail Star Sunday editor Ger Colleran for contempt of court.

Barrister Hugh Mohan told Judge Joseph Mathews yesterday the newspaper had driven a coach-and-four through his judgment in which he found Star Sunday had defamed Watters, of Hazelwood Avenue, Dundalk, Co Louth, and directed it publish an apology.

Mr Mohan said that in his judgment in the Circuit Civil Court last week, Judge Mathews ordered there was to be no repetition of the original libel.
