Dublin man caught with video of rape and torture of 18-month-old baby girl
Summary
A 20‑year‑old Dublin man, Conor Emmet, was found to possess 5,919 images and 328 videos of child pornography, including graphic material depicting the rape and torture of an 18‑month‑old girl. The material was discovered on two laptops and a phone seized during a Garda raid in May 2016, following an intelligence operation involving the FBI and Europol. Emmet pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to possession of the digital images and movies. The court heard that one video showed a masked female sexually abusing the child, who was gagged, bound, beaten, and subjected to candle wax. Another video showed the child being urinated on. Emmet had first accessed child porn at age 16. The case was adjourned for sentencing until May 11th. The court did not discuss any prior convictions or future outcomes.
