Irish anti-immigration activist Kirk Loco, 45, was cleared of a false allegation that a Palestinian asylum seeker exposed himself to a teenage girl on a bus. Loco posted a tweet in June 2024 claiming the incident, tagging other activists and suggesting locals who allow immigrants are "cheering pedophilia." The judge ruled that the evidence was not reliable and said that the victim was not identifiable. Loko claimed that he believed the WhatsApp report he shared was true and did not mean to offend. After the acquittal, he vowed to continue his activities more carefully.
