Sorcha McKenna opposes paedophile register

Child sex abuse victim Sorcha McKenna has told a seminar at the University of Ulster today that she does not support calls for a publicly accessible register of known paedophiles.

Ms McKenna, who waived her right to anonymity after her father, Vincent, was convicted of abusing her, said publicising the addresses of paedophiles would force them underground and out of the reaches of the law.
