Pensioner's sentencing delayed in child-porn case

A pensioner with "a long-standing entrenched sexual interest in children" dating back over 40 years has had his sentence for possession of child pornography further adjourned to allow Judge Katherine Delahunt consider updated reports.

Maurice Doran, aged 67, who had over 5,283 child pornographic images, spent most of his working life in Irish Distilleries before becoming a driver for Cheeverstown, a centre for children with disabilities.
