I only wish there were more journalists with principles other than the single objective of sensationalism to sell newspapers. The Sunday Tribune all but identified me, the Gardai leaked inforamtion about my job location etc. I have no way of undoing that damage. I never met the boy. I did text and speak with him on the phone. He always claimed to be 19. There was no paedophile ring. I can state categorically that I know none of the other men allegedly involved with this lad. Finally, I want to wish the boy well and I hope he suffers no long term effects of the "publicity" and hype stirred up by the media in this matter.
