Child porn accused ‘fears for his life’

A man whose mother reported him to gardaí after finding child pornography on his phone has asked to be put into custody because he fears for his life.

Liam Corr, aged 21, was granted bail in April pending sentence at the end of this month.

However, his barrister made an emergency application yesterday and told the court that Corr believed he was in immediate danger due to the nature of the charges against him.
