  1. Here we go again, crimes against vulnerable kids and a suspended sentence.

  2. >Joseph Doyle, of Vesey Mews, Monkstown in Dublin, pleaded guilty to possession of the material, known in law as child pornography, on 27 May 2019.

    Why did a guilty plea take almost exactly 6 years to be sentenced?

  3. Haven’t opened the article. I’m assuming Judge Nolan again?

    Serious, serious questions need to be asked here on the consistent leniency from him on these crimes.

  4. I have to say I’m not really convinced, *relative to the prison overcrowding issue, and assuming not other aggravating factors are involved*, that a lack custodial sentences in these cases is all that problematic.

    I would like to see everyone convicted of a serious crime, and this is certainly that, and sentenced to prison to actually serve time. But, where there is an issue of overcrowding as we have, other criminals who are likely a reoffend, and/or be an immediate danger to the public, should be prioritised for custodial sentences.

    I recall reading somewhere that the majority of those caught and charged for possession such images don’t reoffend. Which, outside of ideal circumstances, seems positive.

  5. Of course it’s f***ing Nolan. Makes my blood boil. Get some bunk beds for the bastards, and lock them up in shipping containers I don’t give a damn

  6. Nolan once again. He is so, so lenient on paedos and child abusers. I wonder why?????? What could make him think that someone having child abuse images isn’t that big of a deal…I wonder???? Hmmmmm

  7. Sorry, Judge Nolan constitutes a huge danger to children in Ireland does he not? Is there anything to be done, any authoritative body we can pressure to at least investigate his disproportionally lenient sentences for heinous crimes of a very specific nature?

    A person who derives pleasure from the worst abuse humans can inflict was given a slight tap on the wrist and now may be sitting next to you on the Luas tomorrow. Fucking sound. This is really an emergency, what message does this send to vulnerable abused children? That they don’t matter, and that the people who are gratified by their pain and suffering won’t be punished.

  8. If his justification for these lenient sentences is prison overcrowding then why not hammer the offender with either huge fines or community service? Street cleaning, litter picking ect?

  9. A pedo gets no prison and the Judge was …… is the only sentence anyone can complete round here.

  10. Ignoring the Judge Nolan comments, it really irks me that the material involved is called child “pornography”
    When it’s actually imagery of child abuse/ rape.
    Consenting adults are associated with pornography, but there can be no consent when children are involved.

  11. How did I know it was Judge Nolan just from the headline? Surely there is a way to get rid of him? Isn’t it a Dail vote or something?

  12. > The court heard that 220 of the images were in the most serious category of child abuse imagery

    So having hundreds of images of the worst child porn someone can have isn’t even enough to land someone in prison? Interesting to know.

  13. The fact that child porn has become a slap on the wrist crime is fucking horrendous

  14. Why do they keep mentioning ‘he expanded a lot of time and energy’ to get it? How is CSAM being difficult to obtain a good reason to give a shorter sentence?

  15. I didn’t need to read the article to know this was Judge Martin Nolan, lover of child abusers, pedophiles and woman abusers. This judge needs investigating. He’s a disgrace to the judiciary and we the people are paying this pricks wages.

  16. How has no one gone to this lads home yet and dragged him out? We’re all collectively fine with an (at best) pedophile sympathiser being in charge of what happens to the people who abuse our children? 

  17. Nolan must of been suspended at school or something he’s the king of suspended sentences
