Donegal twin brothers charged with possessing child abuse images

Twin brothers have appeared in court in Co Donegal charged with possession of child abuse images.

Michael and Daniel Gibson, both aged 30, are charged under the Child Pornography Act at an address in Letterkenny on November 3rd, 2015.

The brothers, with an address at Lower Main Street in Letterkenny, are charged with allegedly having images of children engaging in sexual acts on mobile phones.

Garda Sergeant Jim Collins said both cases are linked and the cases arise out of a search warrant which was issued.

Solicitors for both men indicated that both cases will be defended.

Judge Deirdre Gearty accepted jurisdiction, meaning she will hear the cases in the district court.

She adjourned the cases until April 20th for mention to finalise a date for hearing.
