A worldwide appeal has been launched by Interpol in a bid to identify a man shown sexually abusing children in photographs on the internet.
The man appears in about 200 images showing the abuse of 12 boys, which police said were taken in Vietnam and Cambodia, possibly in 2002 and 2003.
The pictures had been digitally altered but specialists from Germany’s federal police force, the Bundeskriminalamt, working from originals found on the internet, have produced identifiable images.
Interpol says the man is a danger to children while he remains at large.
A spokesman at Garda Headquarters said Irish detectives were taking part in the international search for the man and experts were examining the picture.
