Shannon stepfather in porn arrest

[Nibb]

Detectives investigating the disappearance of Shannon Matthews have arrested her stepfather on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children.

Craig Meehan, 22, was arrested after officers on the Shannon Matthews case carried out inspections on a number of computers.



Mr Meehan was arrested at the family home in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Michael Donovan, 39, of Lidgate Gardens, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, has been charged with kidnapping Shannon.

West Yorkshire Police said in a statement: "During inquiries by the Shannon Matthews investigation team, the contents of a number of computers have been examined.

"As a result of this work, police have arrested a 22-year-old man from the Dewsbury Moor area on suspicion of possessing indecent images of children.

"He is currently being questioned at a West Yorkshire Police Station."

Social services

Officers said they did not believe any of the images found on the computer were those of family members.

Specialist police search teams are scouring the family home on Moorside Road in the Dewsbury Moor area.

The house was not occupied as the officers conducted their detailed search of the property and Shannon's mother, Karen, was not seen at the home.

Mr Meehan, a fishmonger, has lived at the property with Karen Matthews, a mother-of-seven, for five years.

The nine-year-old schoolgirl was eventually found hidden in the base of a bed at a house a mile from her family home in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire in March, 24 days after she went missing.

But the youngster has not returned home since officers found her and she is in the care of social services.

Her disappearance in February led to the launch of one of the biggest police inquiries in Yorkshire since the Ripper investigation of the 1970s.

Knew that chav cunt looked a bit dodgey

There's something very dodgy about all of this. Has Shannon been reunited with them as yet, or is this the reason she was not allowed home?

[evilsatan]

Something very dodgy indeed, I hope I am wrong but seeing as the mother looked like a crackhead and the step dad is obviously a fuckup, it begs the question that if it was family/extended family who kidnapped her what were the purposes and was it planned between them all. Horrible thing to say but some people in this world are FUBAR as a human.

[rookie]

i said from the start he looked a wrong-un.

i hope they lynch the fucker in prison.

no somthing aint right, although the whole family look like scum.
hopefully nothing happend to the ugly kid

[DB]

Im at a loss with this abduction to be honest, i tend to follow them closely but this one just seems a fuckin shambles??? Lots that we dont know and probably never will. Its certainly not been a straight forward case.

[theduke]

Do you think they staged the abduction, thinking that they would receive money in the same way that Madeline McCann's parents did ? Just a theory

[BBK]

Yes, as sadly it was the first thought I had when it was announced it was his uncle who did the abduction. Its clear that some people have no morals, and if they are the first to do it, they wont be the last.

[rookie]

well they do actually look stupid enough to do it

[DB]

The thing is, these are your regular trailer park chav cunts, who dont have an ounce of intelligence to pull off a scam like that.

The thing is, these are your regular trailer park chav (unts, who dont have an ounce of intelligence to pull off a scam like that.

come on DB, they found her under a bed, with her uncle, a few minutes away from her home. not exactly mastermind criminality mate! i think theres something a bit fishy and they are all filthy looking chav cunts involved. something stinks (as well as the culprits prob. do!)

[evilsatan]

Now I was thinking os a worse plot that he is into child pr0n so maybe they kidnapped her for use as a child sex slave or whatever, I would much rather blame it on them trying to get money for it though.

[crashtestmac]

It is all really fucked up, i still am amased that they dis not look anywhere further than about 10 mins away so the cops must have found out something intresting from the off....!

[beansontoast]

something stinks (as well as the culprits prob. do!)

LMAO I am off work with a chest infection & I nearly choked on that cheap gag

[4me2]

The thing is, these are your regular trailer park chav (unts, who dont have an ounce of intelligence to pull off a scam like that.

This whole story sounds like an Extended episode of Shameless.
