An RTE producer, 54-year-old Kieran Creaven, has been arrested in Leeds, in relation to charges of online grooming, and attempts to meet a minor to engage in sexual activity.
Mr. Creaven was arrested in Leeds on Saturday night, after a group called Predator Exposure set up a sting operation.
The sports producer was allegedly in Leeds to meet with whom he thought was a 13 year old girl. He has been allowed bail, and is expected to return to Ireland.
He is due to appear in court in Leeds on December 18.
