The ex-fishmonger, now 30 was jailed for 20 weeks after police found child sex abuse material on his computer.

The pictures have emerged ahead of the BBC1’s new drama about the fake kidnap of Shannon.

The show is called The Moorside after the housing estate in Dewsbury, West Yorks, where the real-life drama unfolded in February 2008

A huge police operation was launched when nine-year-old Shannon failed to return home from a school swimming trip.

Matthews, now 41, made emotional TV appeals for the return of her daughter which led to a £50,000 reward being put up.

The local community pulled together to raise publicity in the desperate search for the youngster.

But after almost a month, the charade began to fall apart and Matthews confessed she had arranged for her daughter to be kidnapped to get the reward money for “finding” her.

Shannon was discovered drugged and imprisoned in the base of a divan bed less than a mile away at the flat of Michael Donovan.

He is the uncle of Craig, who was Matthews’ boyfriend at the time.

Matthews and Donovan, now 49, were jailed for eight years for kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice.

Meehan has been moved five times since being released from prison in 2008.

He was initially found a home in Keighley, West Yorkshire, but was moved after being attacked.

Housing authorities found him alternative accommodation in the town but he was unmasked again and moved 20 miles to a village near Huddersfield.

But his stay in the affluent village was short-lived when horrified residents discovered Meehan was in the area.

He then moved back to Dewsbury, prompting fury from residents who discovered him.

Meehan will now be moved again.
