A Dublin man who pleaded guilty to 11 sample charges of possessing and sharing child pornography is to be sentenced on Friday. During three separate raids on Horan’s home, gardaí found thousands of child pornography images on computers and phones. In victim impact statements, a father of one victim and the mother of another spoke of their horror at what they had discovered. “That predator still haunts us,” said the father, describing how his then nine-year-old daughter had been contacted online by Horan posing as a child. I felt so bad I didn’t protect her.”Judge Martin Nolan ruled nothing should be reported that could identify Horan’s victims.
