Man who used his child to make porn has sentence cut

A Meath-man jailed for using his 13-year-old daughter to make child pornography, which he did not see as wrong and said was “simply a bit of fun”, has had his sentence reduced by two years on appeal.

The man had pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to 19 offences of sexual assault, producing child pornography and allowing a child to be used in child pornography between May 2010 and April 2010.

He was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment with the last two suspended by Judge Martin Nolan on July 1, 2013.
