Man faces sentence over child pornography

A man who had thousands of images and videos of child abuse, some of which showed children being tortured, will be sentenced in October.

Marcin Wojciechowicz, aged 34, was caught after a co-worker gave him a lift home and he left a USB memory key containing some of the material in the man’s van.

Gardaí were alerted and during the course of the investigation found over 16,000 images and 300 videos classified as child pornography on his USB stick, mobile phone and laptop.
