Suspended term in child porn case

A HIGHLY qualified computer engineer now earns a living as a cleaner having been shunned by all who knew him after he was found with child porn images, Limerick Circuit Court heard.

Anthony Mullane, aged 45, with an address at Ormston House, Patrick Street, Limerick, was given a two-year suspended sentence when he pleaded guilty to possession of the images.

Gardaí were alerted after a work colleague saw the accused downloading child porn. In a follow up search, more than 1,500 images were found and four or five were of children engaging in sexual acts.
