Judge clears public from Tralee court due to 'gross' nature of details in child pornography case

A judge excluded the public from a courtroom at the Circuit Criminal Court in Tralee today because the details in a child pornography case were so "gross".

The case stemmed from a photosharing, document and chat site based in Russia and the Kerry-based computers were traced because of a US Homeland security department operation investigating a man in Arizona who was creating images and placing them on a Russian website in 2012.
