Shane Byrne had been in an 'on and off' relationship with a woman, who noticed that messages between them “started to get weird”

A man who sent images of child abuse material to a woman he was seeing at the time over a messaging service has been jailed for two years.

At one point Byrne asked her if she could “get a child younger than five years old” as “they wouldn’t understand”. He then sent her an image of child abuse and told the woman he was raping a six-year-old in the photo. Garda Cotter agreed with Kathleen Leader SC, defending, that after these allegations came to light, Byrne moved to England to live with his grandfather. While in England, he was jailed for an assault. He was ultimately extradited back to Ireland last July and has been in custody since. Ms Stuart confirmed that Gardaí were never able to confirm where the images originated from.
