Man In Court Over Images Of Children
A man is to appear in a Dublin court today, charged with the possession of child pornography.
According to Gardaí this morning, officers from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation arrested the man in his 60s in the Dublin city area as part of an ongoing investigation.
The man was arrested on Friday morning and was been detained at Pearse Street Garda Station under Sect 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
The man was charged and will appear at Dublin District Court in Bridewell today the at 4.30pm.
Also today, it has emerged that children sexually abused up to the age of 14 are sometimes waiting several days to be forensically examined.
Adults raped or sexually attacked are able to access specialist treatment centres within a matter of hours, but because of a lack of specialist services to treat them, minors can expect a wait of a few days, adding to their trauma.
The warning comes from paediatrician and forensic examiner Dr Joanne Nelson who said it was astounding that if a 23-year-old was raped on a Friday night, they could be admitted within two hours to a sexual assault treatment unit (SATU). However, she said if a three-year-old was raped at a weekend there was no multi-disciplinary service and no medical professional on call or to respond until Monday — if even then.
