Martin Jude Wall was committed to prison by the High Court over extradition for online child-sex offences in a judgment dated 11 October 2021. The surrender request concerned the United States, where Wall had pleaded guilty to offences involving a person he believed was a child in an online sting operation. The court rejected his objections, finding the necessary correspondence with an Irish offence and no human-rights bar to surrender. It granted the Attorney General’s application under the Extradition Act, committing Wall to await the Minister for Justice’s order on extradition. The judgment records a possible remaining sentence of 12 years, six months and 11 days in the United States.
