The court was informed that Alan McCrea, 48, was found with a staggering collection of over 1.2 million images and videos depicting child sexual abuse, which raises significant alarms about the scale of such offenses in society.
During the sentencing, it was revealed that McCrea also possessed a chilling child mannequin dressed in a school uniform, a disturbing detail that highlighted the gravity of his criminal behavior and additional psychological implications.
Despite having ten previous convictions including public order offenses, McCrea's crime of child pornography is particularly egregious, showcasing a troubling pattern of behavior that prompted the court to impose a substantial jail sentence.
The Dublin Circuit Criminal Court held that McCrea's actions demonstrated a significant threat to society, and his two years and nine months imprisonment serves as both punishment and a deterrent against similar future offenses.
