'Evil' child rapist who videotaped abuse gets 11 years
Stage: Sentence
Finding: Found guilty
Outcome: Found guilty; Imposing sentence today, Ms Justice Siobhan Lankford said the case illustrated the "devastating impact this kind of sexual abuse has on so much generations – the generation above and the generation to come." She said that "the breach of trust here is egregious" and that there was "a determined corruption of these young people." A local garda told Roisin Lacey SC, prosecuting, that while Hudson was living in Dublin, he befriended four local children. Judge Lankford sentenced Hudson to 13 years in prison, with the final two years suspended.
