Former RTÉ producer Kieran Creaven gets 10 years for child sexual abuse

One child in particular, who was sexually abused by Creaven in the Philippines, has never been found and her fate remains unknown, the judge said

Kieran Creaven (pictured) had pleaded guilty to 10 counts, including four counts of child exploitation, two counts of sexually assaulting a child and four counts of child pornography. The offences took place in Ireland, the UK and the Philippines in 2014 and 2017.

A former RTÉ producer who sexually abused and exploited young children, including flying to the Philippines for the purpose of child sexual abuse, has been jailed for 10 years.

Kieran Creaven engaged in behaviour that was “degrading in the extreme” for his vulnerable child victims, who were in some cases being abused for commercial gain, Judge Melanie Greally said as she handed down sentence today.
