An RTE producer who sexually abused and exploited young children videoed himself sexually abusing a child in the Philippines while saying she was “beautiful”, a court has heard.
Creaven, of Adelaide Street, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, pleaded guilty to 10 counts, including four counts of child exploitation, two counts of sexually assaulting a child and four counts of child pornography. The offences took place in Ireland, the UK and the Philippines in 2014 and 2017. Creavan was identifiable by his “distinctive tattoos” and his face was clearly visible in parts of the videos, which were 15 minutes and 6 minutes long respectively, the court heard. The videos were shot on October 12 and 16, 2014, and involved the same child.
He told one of the children: “After seeing your pic again, I'm a fair few years older than you, so probably shouldn't be messaging you. My intentions are 100% naughty, ha.”One of the children – a 14-year-old boy who was on Facebook under a girl's name – told gardaí he almost vomited when Creaven sent him a video of a man masturbating. Creaven labelled it 'a little spunky video for you', the court heard. The boy left Facebook after that and never reopened the account.
