'Child Porn Facilitator' Will Not Be Prosecuted
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has said it will not prosecute a man described by the FBI as "the largest facilitator of child porn on the planet."
The High Court has heard that the DPP will not prosecute Eric Eoin Marques, an Irish citizen who is wanted in the United States on four charges linked to website images described as being violent and sexually explicit and containing pre-pubescent children.
The 28-year-old man has both Irish and US citizenship and wanted to be tried in Ireland.
He has submitted a letter to the DPP saying he would plead guilty to the offences if tried in Ireland.
The case has been adjourned until January 21.
