A Dublin man who possessed thousands of child porn images coerced young girls to send sexually graphic pictures and videos of themselves, a court has heard. He threatened to share an 11-year-old girl’s nude images to her social media if she didn’t send him more graphic photos. He pleaded guilty to two more counts of sexually exploiting a child and one count of distributing child porn on dates in 2015. He further pleaded guilty to possessing child porn on a Sony mobile phone at his home on July 7th 2016. Det Gda Connolly told Mr Staines that American authorities contacted gardaí about a gmail account being used to share child porn.
