Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Smith was jailed in the UK in 2008 for this and possession of nearly 20,000 images of child pornography. Mr Justice Moran imposed a 15 year sentence but suspended the final three years in light of Smith's early guilty plea when he was brought back to Ireland last year.
