Mallon sex charge term increased
A Co Antrim man who pleaded guilty to sex charges in the United States involving an under-age girl has had his jail term doubled.
Stan Mallon, a former acting chief executive of the Ulster Scots Agency, must now serve 41 months in jail for arranging to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex in a hotel room in Chicago in 2002.
Mr Mallon, originally from Crumlin, had made contact with a girl whom he thought was 14 years old over the internet, however the girl turned out to be an undercover police officer.
He had been on a promotional trip on behalf of the Ulster Scots Agency when he was arrested in connection to the charges.
Despite originally denying the charges, as well as travelling between states to engage in sex with a minor, the father of five was also fined $5,000. He will now remain in prison until February 2005.
In a statement issued through their solicitor, the Mallon family said they were "deeply disappointed" at the news.
