Tom Humphries was jailed for two-and-a-half years for sexual exploitation and defilement at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 24 October 2017. The sentences were imposed concurrently.

Judge Karen O’Connor said the offending was at the upper end of the mid-range. Humphries had pleaded guilty to six offences involving a teenage girl, and the guilty plea meant she did not have to testify.

The judge said Humphries had shown remorse and had no previous convictions, while stressing that this did not excuse his actions.
