A 35-year-old man who was bullied in school and was somewhat reclusive was sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court for downloading child abuse images more than four years ago.

Detective Garda Alan Johnston testified that images and videos totalling 191 were found on a laptop belonging to John Nagle at his home at Churchfield Green, Churchfield, Cork, on March 24, 2020.
