TV producer in Leeds court over grooming

    A television producer has been in court over allegations of grooming.

    Kieran Creaven is said to have flown from Ireland to Leeds to meet someone he believed to be a 13-year-old girl but was in fact a fake online identity.

    The 55-year-old, who works for the Irish broadcaster RTE, appeared at Leeds Magistrates court yesterday, 20 November.

    He is charged with attempting to meet a child following grooming and attempting to cause or incite a child to engage in sexual activity between 1 July and 18 November.

    Mr Creaven was bailed to appear at Leeds Crown Court on 12 December.
