‘Taffy dragon’ leads to porn arrest

A Welshman in Cork was traced through his “Taffy dragon” email address downloading child pornography movies and images in 2010 and once again in 2017.

Andrew Gray was at Cork Circuit Criminal Court where he was sentenced to a total of three years in prison with the last year suspended.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said of Gray, aged 44: “He is of a disposition he cannot change. He is a worry to society with a difficulty that needs to be monitored. He is in high need of treatment and the risk of reoffending is high.”
