This guy threatened to share images if the girl didn’t meet him for sex. She informed the Gardai and one met him, posing as her. He attacked this Gard in an “exceptionally violent” manner, punching and kicking her in the head.
“In her 20 year career she had never encountered such aggression before”
And he gets a suspended sentence?
All those gripping Spotify ads for nothing…..
All those gripping Spotify ads for nothing…..
He should get death the scumbag.
People will serve prison for much lesser crimes
Aren’t they literally running an ad campaign at the moment about how threatening to share intimate pictures is a crime?
They need to update them to reflect that it’s not really that bad, a little bold but you can throw assaulting a garda in on top of it and still walk out of court no problem.
Attempted sexual extortion and assault of a Garda, fully suspended sentence…
Make crime illegal
I’m gonna guess Judge Nolan… then gonna read the article.
We need to build a prison asap and punish people who break the law. Too many are committing crimes and then continuing on as normal
No – a suspended sentence is too lenient here.
Shame on him
Well done to the victim on speaking up 👏👏👏
Why fucking suspended??
Good news is we can look forward to a fresh new government with a fresh new energy to tackle serious issues like this…. 🙄
I’d say 9 out of 10 times that I’ve read about a woman getting beaten/abused by a man in the last few years they have all got a suspended sentence. Does the woman have to die for a conviction these days? Surely, there has to be a better punishment than a suspended sentence and a fine
News Flash: Real story, there are no prison spaces, therefore he can not be jailed.
[removed]
Genuine question is there going to be more prisons spaces added to the system or can people just do whatever they want for the foreseeable ?
I’d say the judges are banging their heads against a wall because they are being made look like thicks day in day out.
The Irish justice system shows their contempt for women at every opportunity.
This is not good enough
Absolutely insane that this freak will not see a prison cell. Horrific stuff
This won’t be the last we hear of this loser, I guarantee it
> Vilanstown
The bad guy is from vilanstown?
> A forensic psychological assessment put Seery’s risk of further sexual offence in the medium range, based on his current status, but found it could increase if he began drinking heavily again.
So he gets a suspended sentence?
This story just got worse the more I read. What’s the point in the current ads on the radio? Sharing images and saying it’s an offence if you can go three steps further, assault a garda, and still not get jail time. Joke of a legal system.
I wonder how much Dept of Justice spent on that “sharing intimate photos without permission is illegal” ad campaign
A wannabe rapist and murder, an actual flight risk who attacked a guard given suspended sentencing is a joke. Any other western country you’re looking at serious prison time. He shouldn’t be allowed to be free for the safety of others, especially women.
Why the fuck is it any business or factor to a judge about how many cells we have free. Fuck off with this shit.
Isn’t there a TV add currently that reminds how this is a serious criminal offence?
>Mitigating factors were his young age, remorse, lack of previous convictions, and guilty plea. The judge said it was out of character for the accused and an aberration. Seery was from a good family, and following apprehension, he accepted the offences were malicious, furnished letters of apology to his victim, and expressed shame. The court heard he worked part-time, was on a film production course, and engaging with his doctor and counselling, which needs to continue, and he has quit binge drinking. The court noted he had been recently diagnosed with autism, and that this diagnosis would assist him in getting help to reduce his risk of reoffending. The judge learned from the accused’s father that Seery had issues from childhood, suffered a mental breakdown in his teens, and “was in a dark place for years”. Incarceration would be a setback for his progress, the judge held.
What a load of shit. His solicitor really knew how to play this softie of a judge. Doesn’t matter what your sob story is, if you commit violent and sexual crimes you should be off the streets. Make him do his counseling in prison where he can’t attack more women.
I have absolutely no doubt this fella finds himself outside of a prison because of his or his families relationship with the powers that be. The story and the consequences literally stink of this shit
This is where it gets dodgy if it wasn’t already, I know someone whose ex was constantly threatening to post intimate pictures.
That’s a seriously dangerous tool to manipulate someone with. It’s incredibly coercive and can make going to the Gardai seem pointless in solving the immediate threat.
Absolutely disgusting how widespread this has become.
The irony is staggering.
The fact that there is a huge national ad campaign currently being run SPECIFICALLY about how sharing intimate content without permission is illegal and will be met with consequences, and this guy gets off with a suspended sentence just shows how much of a joke we are as a country.
Just absolutely shameful stuff.
These Judges are fucking morons.
So much for all the ads about how serious this is meant to be taken. What a farce.
He has a chin like a pair of bollix
Typical bullshit. Not only are the courts losing what little faith the public had of them, but the gards are going to rapidly lose faith in them completely, too.
Custodial sentences for serious offences need to become a regular thing, with more prisons built to house the scum. The fact that there are little to no consequences for being a scumbag means it will just be a continuous circle
There needs to be mass protests to make crime illegal in Ireland.
Perfectly sums up that it’s not Garda who’s failing us.
Cunts like this, cunts who pose a day to day threat to ordinary people, will get suspended sentences. Sex offenders, violent thugs, muggers, robbers, etc.
Space, however, will be made in prisons for people who undermine the government.
I’m going to get downvoted but I don’t care. I think the lack of a custodial sentence is made up by other things:
1. He’s been named and shamed.
2. He has to pay out €10,000 that’s €5,000 for each victim.
3. He’s doing 240hrs of community service (better helping community than jail rotting)
4. He’s on the sex offenders register for 6 years.
5. He’s criminally convicted meaning travel will be limited, meaning limited job opportunities and being on the register means Interpol will be notified of any movements if he leaves country.
6. It’s a suspended sentence so if he commits a crime in the 6 years, he’ll get locked up.
I get people look for punitive sentences but I think all those things will not only be punishment but will also give some compo to victims and service to the community.
The compo isn’t much but it’s a start and he aint earning that money sitting in a prison cell.
Judges have to consider mitigating circumstances when sentencing. IT’s not like they can just ignore that. He has no previous convictions and he is young, so there is light at the end of the tunnel for this man to reform. Everything else is in place to reduce potential harm to other victims etc.
I’m very surprised that people can kick a garda in the head and get community service over it.
I’m unfortunately less surprised that people can plan to rape someone they’d been blackmailing and just get a suspended sentence. All too lenient.
Helen McEntee department doing a fabulous job as usual. Spending millions on an ad campaign about sharing intimate images of others. And then her department consistently allows sexual predators to walk free. Mixed messages.
This is shocking. I fear for my little girl growing up, cos I fear if anything happens to her, there will be no justice!!! Scumbag! He will absolutely 100% offend again and probably commit deplorable acts, and the law will be like 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I wonder what his sentence would be without the flooring the garda aspect
He sounds dangerous and is at medium to high risk of reoffending. Fuck
Need the shittiest, dankest, Hell hole to throw all these creatures into.
Not a well individual. Guy should be monitored
If anyone touches him they’ll spend a few years inside because we couldnt have any vigilantism.
“In his interviews, Seery told gardaí he had no friends besides people he engaged with online.”
A mystery for the ages.
Big stereotypical sex offender head on him.
Suspended sentence, fine do it the old way. Tar and feather the cunt and make him wear a cow bell. So people can hear him coming
Message is pretty clear that sexual coercion, abuse and violence aren’t *really* crimes.
Edit: wait is this a young girl.. as in a child. He extorted child sexual abuse material/cp with no consequences?!
He deserves to have that piercing punched all the way into the roof of his mouth.
So you can kick females guards in the head now and still get away with it.
