Sex offender's appeal rejected as judge refuses to name former TD who provided character reference
"Judge Edwards expressed disapproval of a TD's comments regarding Daniel Ramamoorthy's 'previous good name', emphasizing the need to focus on the victim and the 'vile' nature of the crimes."
"Micheál Martin, leader of Fianna Fáil, stated he would not engage in a 'witch hunt', but urged the TD to 'come forward' regarding the situation involving Ramamoorthy."
Judge John Edwards criticized a TD for praising Daniel Ramamoorthy's past while ignoring the victim and the horrific nature of his crimes. Ramamoorthy, a former governmental adviser, was convicted in 2017 for sexually exploiting a 13-year-old boy by soliciting explicit images via Snapchat. The judge dismissed Ramamoorthy's sentence appeal and also rejected a media request to name the politician who provided a character reference for him.
