Jailed sex offender is ‘a danger to society’

A convicted sex offender who admitted he has a compulsion to accessing child pornography has been jailed after a judge said he is a danger to society.

Anthony Keogh, aged 53, who searched the internet using terms such as “child sex stories” and “underage sex stories”, was caught with 12,756 images of children engaged in sexual acts with adults and in various states of undress.

His previous convictions include a six-year term with three suspended for abusing a child in Limerick between 2004 and 2006.
