The judge said that the exposure offences were difficult to assess and noted they were once seen as a much less serious offence then than they are seen now.

Image: Sasko Lazarov/Photocall Ireland Image: Sasko Lazarov/Photocall Ireland A MAN WHO was caught in possession of child pornography after being arrested for exposing his genitals near a child has been given a suspended sentence.

Detective Garda Mairead Murphy told Diana Stuart BL, prosecuting, that on the date in 2017, a woman was shopping in TK Maxx along with two of her children. The woman noticed her daughter began to cry and asked her what had happened. Ms Gorman formed the view that Edwards was masturbating. She observed him move to the end of the footwear section and expose himself.

Murphy agreed with Anne Rowland SC, defending, that there was no evidence suggesting payment for the images or sharing of the images. She agreed that Edwards was qualified as a chef and lost his job when these offences came to light.

There is no report of a mandatory psychological assessment or therapy programme. Are we to believe JudgeNolan allowed this man to walk free provided he doesn't come to the attention of the courts again? Was he even listed on the SOR? stopchildsexabuse protectchildhood

Nolan the pedo’s pet strikes again

This has gone beyond a joke now at this stage, the dogs on the street can see Nolan's consistent lack of proper sentencing to sex offenders. Is there no1, who can, willing to investigate him?

Are these people taking us for knob heads

This judge needs to be removed.

Nolan at it again. Twice in the space of a week. This is just abhorrent! CharlieFlanagan an investigation/review into his sentencing of pedophiles and rapists is needed ASAP

What the actual hell?

Sound the Martin Nolan klaxon. Don't even have to read the story.

Sex offenders should be crucified and left to rot

You couldn't make these sentences up... A nation steeped in abuse, which continues to be facilitated by the judiciary....

He has to be one! Too many paedos getting off on his watch.

The headline is enough to know this was a Nolan ruling. The sex offenders dream judge

Rediculous, this guy should have had a 2yr custodial sentence.

The only thing for Suspended sentences is to suspend them!!

Is there no one that will stand up and get this judge removed ffs is he the ring leader or what

How do you go about getting this judge removed ?,any case of child porn or abuse of children he let's them off or a suspended sentence,is arbour hill full or something !!

Judge Nolan? Can you investigate this judge please DeptJusticeIRL

You are sick calling it child porn. It is sexual abuse of children 😡

I don't even need to read the article to know it's judge Nolan again.

Stupid sentence. Traumatised children and he is allowed walk free. We dont have the garda resources in this country to monitor this nonce. Someone somewhere must have some serious Epstein style dirt on Nolan. He should be ashamed.

courtsnewsIRL gemmaod1 LeoVaradkar CharlieFlanagan MichealMartinTD MaryLouMcDonald Judge Martin Nolan has to be removed from the bench. He is not fit to preside over cases any more. It's high time this man was given the boot.

The weakest judge around, or is he actually a nonce himself protecting his like as they walk around our city behaving like this. He needs removing and fast.

True. And a very serious point too.

Another joke sentence.

Can you please call it what it is - child sexual abuse - not child porn.

JFC this country is a joke

Judge Nolan giving yet another lenient sentence to a sexual offender. Looking out for his own type as usual.

'Images of child sexual abuse' please , not 'child porn'

Scant concern for the victim
