May 22 2008 by Andrew Hirst, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

THE former partner of Shannon Matthews’ mother was again remanded in custody on charges of possessing child pornography.

Craig Meehan, 22, appeared at Dewsbury Magistrates’ Court yesterday accused of possessing 140 indecent images of children which were allegedly found on a computer at the home he shared with Karen Matthews.

Meehan denied the charges. The case was adjourned for a week when it is hoped a trial date will be set for later in the summer.
