Nigel McClintock, a Carrickfergus Paedophile choirmaster who previously sung before the Pope in Rome, has been charged with a child sex crime.
Nigel McClintock, featured in a three-part BBC 1 NI broadcast in 2010, was accused this week at Belfast Magistrates Court with engaging in sexual communications with a minor.
The 50-year-old, Nigel McClintock, esteemed organist and conductor from Albert Road, Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, is charged with the offence committed in April of this year.
Nigel McClintock, who studied at the Royal College of Music, was not required to appear in person but during a short hearing at Belfast Laganside Courthouse, a police officer told the court they could connect him to the charge.
The exact wording of the charge states that he “for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, intentionally communicated with another person… and the communication was sexual or was intended to encourage (name removed) to make (whether to you or to another) a communication that was sexual, and (name removed) was under 16 and you did not reasonably believe that (name removed) was 16 or over contrary to section 22A of the Sexual Offences (NI) Order 2008”.
He is yet to enter a plea and the case was adjourned until later this year.
