Garda jailed for three years on child pornography charge

A Garda sergeant who paid a prostitute Ir£100 to find him a seven to 10-year old girl for sex has been jailed for three years by Judge Frank O'Donnell at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Kieran O'Halloran picked up the 21-year-old woman on Blackhall Place in Dublin and when they went to a flat on James' Street he said he was looking for a young girl. He told her he didn't see it as sexual abuse because he was willing to pay for the service.
