Matthew Horan coerced girls into sending graphic videos.

A Dublin man who possessed thousands of child porn images and coerced young girls to send him sexually graphic pictures and videos of themselves has been jailed for seven and a half years.

Matthew Horan, aged 26, used Skype, Snapchat, Instagram, and Kik, an anonymous instant messaging application, to send and receive child porn images from six identified child users in Ireland and nine unknown users around the world.
