by | 8th, September 2008

REMEMBER Shannon Matthews? Poor Shannon. Our Shannon.

Craig Meehan, her former live-in adult male role model, foerm lover of mother Karen Matthews, has been in court to answer charges of having indecent images of children on his PC. Meehan denies any wrongdoing.

The papers have the details…

THE TIMES: “Craig Meehan denies child pornography charges”

More than 130 images of child pornography were found on a computer seized from the home of a missing schoolgirl, a court heard heard today.

133, says the paper.

Shannon, one of seven children to Ms Matthews by five different fathers…

Fact.

Wearing a black Manchester United shirt under a padded sports coat, he sat impassively in the dock as the case against him was outlined by David Holderness, prosecuting.

Facts.

THE GUARDIAN: “Shannon Matthews stepfather had 134 indecent images, court told – ‘Convincing and overwhelming’ case that Craig Meehan downloaded indecent images of children, prosecutor says”

134 images. Fact.

THE INDEPENDENT: “Shannon mum’s partner denies porn charges”

Police searching for the missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews found more than 100 indecent images of children on a computer belonging to her mother’s then partner, a court heard today.

133. 134. Both more than 100. Fact.

YORKSHIRE EVENING POST: “Shannon’s stepdad ‘had child porn images’ on computer – court told”

“Police investigating Shannon Matthews’ step-dad for alleged child porn offences found a stash of adult videos when they raided his Dewsbury home, a court heard. Opening the case against Craig Meehan, prosecutor David Holderness said the discovery of the videos – none of which involved children – flew in the face of Meehan’s earlier claim in police interviews that he was not a user of pornography.”

Is adult porn a gateway porn?

The trial continues…
