Man sent supervisor graphic child porn video

Summary

Frank Kamara, 29, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. On 17 January 2018, while employed as a cleaner at a Dublin shopping centre, he emailed a video to his supervisor. The supervisor watched the four‑minute, 59‑second clip for two seconds, was shocked, and deleted it. Kamara claimed he sent the video to warn his supervisor about the dangers of child sexual exploitation and to advise him not to leave his own children with untrustworthy people. He said the video was sent to him by a woman in Nigeria and that he had deleted it after forwarding it. The prosecution, represented by Garda Joanne Grogan, described the footage as a male adult raping a boy about one or two years old.
