"Largest facilitator of child porn in the world" further remanded for two weeks
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 12 November 2013, the extradition case of Eric Eoin Marques, a 28‑year‑old Irishman, was adjourned for two weeks. Marques is wanted in the United States on four charges of conspiring to distribute and advertise child pornography, and of advertising and distributing child pornography. The alleged offences involve images posted on more than a hundred anonymous websites that the FBI describes as extremely violent and graphic, depicting the rape and torture of pre‑pubescent children, some infants. The websites reportedly have thousands of members who have posted millions of images. If convicted, Marques faces a potential sentence of up to 100 years, which could mean life imprisonment. His lawyers requested the adjournment and the court, with no objection from the State, granted it. Mr Justice John Edwards remanded Marques in custody and scheduled the next hearing for 26 November.
