A Kildare town man who faces charges relating to alleged child pornography appeared at Naas District Court yesterday, Thursday, June 15.
Patrick Holt, 38, with an address listed as 8 Meadow Court, Kildare Town, is charged with alleged possession, at his address, on October 9, 2014 of a hard drive containing images of a child pornographic nature contrary to Section 6 of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act.
He also is charged with allegedly producing child pornography on September 22, 2014, for distribution, publication, export, sale or show.
