An Irish man wanted in the United States, where he was convicted of attempting to entice a child for indecent purposes after a police sting, was granted bail by the High Court today.
Martin Jude Wall (45) is wanted by the Chatham County Sheriff s office in Georgia after he allegedly breached the conditions of his release by fleeing to Ireland.
If found guilty of the breach in America, Wall faces a possible 15 years imprisonment, which is the length of his probation.
In February 2012, Wall pleaded guilty, through plea-bargain, to attempting to entice a child for indecent purposes after he sent a nude photo of himself from his phone through a chat-group to what he believed was a 13-year-old girl.

Gardai have made their second large seizure of counterfeit goods they believe were destined for the lucrative Christmas market, with a â¬200,000 haul found in the back of a truck in Dublin.
Gardai believe the goods had been smuggled into the Republic for sale here and that a group of criminals including by Asian and Irish men were behind the crime.
The latest seizure followed approximately 15,000 counterfeit items being seized last month, with that consignment valued at about â¬300,000. Both seizures were intelligence-led and were part of Operation Bannister, which is a dedicated inquiry targeting counterfeit goods and intellectual property crime.
The latest find was made when gardai moved in on a lorry that was under surveillance in south Dublin on Tuesday, with the back of the vehicle found fill with goods that gardai believe were all produced on the black economy.
