Former school principal convicted of possessing child porn

A retired secondary school principal was given a ten-month jail sentence today for having 289 child pornographic images and six such video files on his computer two years ago.

Judge Con O’Leary suspended the last seven months of that sentence at Cork District Court on Anthony Caniffe (aged 62) who had the child pornography at his home at Rosegarth, Donnybrook, Douglas, Cork, on October 16, 2008. He has since moved to Scotland.
