Man jailed after pornographic images found on phone

A middle-aged man was given a three-year jail sentence today for defiling a teenager by having sexual intercourse with her and keeping pornographic images of her on his mobile phone.

The offences originally came to light when a friend of the accused, John Carroll (aged 50), of Glashykinleen, Kiskeam, Mallow, Co Cork, went to change the ringtone of Carroll’s phone and inadvertently found the images showing intimate images of the teenager’s body.
