A 35-year-old man who admitted filming himself sexually abusing an infant boy, and who then shared the video footage with others, has been sentenced for six years, with the final two years suspended.
However, the judge said he had to impose an immediate custodial sentence, and he described Marshall’s behaviour as"appalling, vile, egregious, and despicable".Marshall had denied in interviews with gardaí that he had a sexual predilection for children. Marshall filmed himself abusing the boy and uploaded the material to social media platform Kik, which alerted the US-based National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, which in turn contacted gardaí.
Marshall was identified by gardaí in the videos with the boy because of distinctive tattoos on his forearms. He had also used his email address to set up his account.
