RC Priest's powerpoint presentation shocks parents

Quote:

An investigation is under way after indecent images were "inadvertently" shown by a Catholic priest during a presentation at a primary school in County Tyrone.

Father Martin McVeigh projected the images onto a screen during a meeting for parents in Pomeroy in preparation for First Holy Communion. One child was also present.

Parents said 16 indecent images of men were displayed. The priest said he had no knowledge of the offending imagery.
Quote:

"The priest has stated that he had no knowledge of the offending imagery. The archdiocese immediately sought the advice of the PSNI who indicated that, on the basis of the evidence available, no crime had been committed.
So it appears Father McVeigh is claiming he knew nothing about the photos in question.

It is always possible that he wasn't hugely IT literate and asked someone to set up the powerpoint for him who then decided to set him up for fun (it wouldn't be the first time I've inserted an embarrassing photo or message in someone's slideshow for a giggle). Part of the reason you should always have a quick check of your material before starting.

But, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a bit more to the story...
