A man in his mid-30s from Slane Village in County Meath, who is married with two children, has appeared today 20/7/2011 at Navan District Court, he has been charged with child pornography offences in Slane and remanded in continuing custody to Cloverhill Prison pending his trial.
The man is one of a number of people in the village who contacted the media in 2005 when it was rumoured that a man convicted of a sexual offence was moving into the village.
These people had their pictures taken and gave interviews to the Sunday World and other media, however, as the man charged this week is related to many of the ‘2005 campaigners’ they are making no protest this time round. In 2005 locals such as Clodagh Mc Connon, Brendan Lynch, Collette Gallagher, Lilian Sears, Fiona Connors and a number of others became public campaigners, but they now fall silent as one of their own is exposed.
