Gardaí said the possession of child pornography related to a total of 212 images and of which 117 were category 1 images — the most serious category of such images depicting children involved in or observing sexual acts.

A US native living in Cork has confessed to the distribution of child pornography.

David Boettcher of Lower Glanmire Road, Cork, faced two counts of distribution, and his solicitor, Shane Collins-Daly, said the 60-year-old was pleading guilty to the charges.
