Irish man pleads guilty to child exploitation charges after online chats and images found in raid.
A 61-year-old electronic engineer from Clonlost, County Westmeath, pleaded guilty to two charges under Ireland’s Child Trafficking and Pornography Act after being caught in a UK-led undercover operation.
Mark Barlow, using the screen name “Wow, that’s tight,” engaged in explicit online conversations with an undercover officer from May to June 2023, sharing fantasies involving young children, describing abusive acts, and sending a sexually exposed image of a six-year-old.
Police traced the activity to his home via IP address and seized devices containing an estimated 10,000 images and 50 videos of child sexual abuse.
Barlow, who cooperated with authorities and expressed remorse, admitted his behavior began in early 2023.
The case highlights international law enforcement collaboration to combat online child exploitation.
