THE stepfather of Shannon Matthews has been charged with child porn offences.

Craig Meehan, 22, has been charged with 10 offences of possessing indecent images of children.

He was due to appear before Dewsbury magistrates today – just 24 hours after a dramatic arrest at his home in Dewsbury Moor.

Officers then spent hours removing property from the house Meehan shares with Shannon’s mother, Karen Matthews.

Shannon, 9, was missing for 24 days. Michael Donovan, Meehan’s uncle, has been charged with kidnap.
