Granny ‘no victim’ as judge jails her for brothel keeping

A judge jailed a grandmother for brothel keeping and dismissed her story that she returned to the prostitution business to bankroll her husband’s credit card spending spree as being “in the realms of Walter Mitty”.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Tom O’Donnell jailed Brazilian-born Aulicete Walsh, 54, for four months for brothel keeping in Ennis and Limerick in May 2015, telling the court that he did not regard her as a victim.

Ms Walsh was appealing an eight-month jail term imposed on her at the district court in March. Judge O’Donnell said he did not find anything wrong with the district court sentence.
