Former teacher, 58, to be sentenced for possessing child pornography

A 58-year-old former teacher and table tennis coach is to be sentenced next week for possession of child pornography five and a half years ago, writes Jessica Magee.

John O’Donoghue pleaded guilty earlier this year to a single count of possessing the pornographic material at his former home in Weaver’s Hall, Stepaside, Dublin 18, on March 27, 2012.
