Man wanted in UK over indecent images

A law lecturer wanted in Britain for making indecent images of a child has launched a last-minute legal bid aimed at halting his extradition to England.

The action has been brought by Julian Myerscough, aged 54, with an address at Alexandra Rd, Lowestoft, Suffolk. He arrived in Ireland shortly after he was found guilty by a jury of 13 counts of making indecent images of a child at Ipswich Crown Court on September 30, 2015.

He was also found guilty of three counts of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order imposed on him following a previous conviction for similar offences. He attended his trial but failed to return after lunch when the jury reached its verdict. He was convicted in his absence.
