Stephen Gregan received an 18-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, for possessing child pornography at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 27 March 2023. The offence took place at his Dublin home.

Gardaí found 64 images and 57 video files after seizing two hard drives and a computer during an investigation into an allegation of sexual assault. The report said the material depicted children aged between three and ten.

Judge Melanie Greally said the delay since the material was seized, Gregan’s rehabilitation and the lack of subsequent negative Garda attention weighed against immediate custody. The sentence was subject to strict conditions, including supervision by the Probation Service.
