Mother reported son to gardai after finding child porn on phone

Summary

Liam Corr, 21, was remanded on bail after pleading guilty to possessing and distributing child pornography. His mother reported him to Gardaí when she found 28 pornographic files on his phone, including images of under‑age girls and a bestiality video. Gardaí discovered the material while analysing the device and noted Corr used a file‑sharing app to share the videos, encouraging others to view them. Corr admitted the content was child pornography and that he sought like‑minded users. He had no prior convictions. Judge Melanie Greally adjourned the case to 28 June to consider a psychological report and ordered a Probation Service report. The report, submitted by counsel Patrick Marrinan, highlighted Corr's childhood abuse and the suicide of his father when Corr was eight, recommending treatment for significant psychological issues.
