Images of females in school uniforms not illegal, says accused

A Westmeath man on trial for possessing child pornography has claimed in evidence that because an Asian female in an image wore a school uniform did not mean she was a school girl.

Victor Fagg (aged 36) of Cornamagh, Athlone said at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court: "In some parts of Asia, women wear uniforms at third level education and teacher-training colleges."
