A 39-year-old woman has been given a four-year prison sentence for the sexual exploitation of a 15-year-old girl.

Ramilekun Thomas, originally from Nigeria but with an address in Fort Lawn Park in Blanchardstown, pleaded guilty to two counts of using a child for the purposes of sexual exploitation in May 2008.
The schoolgirl was a friend of an acquaintance of Ms Thomas.
The Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that on at least six occasions the girl had sex with a 60-year-old man in his home or in Ms Thomas' home.
She was paid €50 on five occasions and €100 on one occasion.
Most of the money went to Ms Thomas. The girl was given only €10 in total.
The court heard Ms Thomas has three children. She told the court she had problems with drugs and alcohol and she had given sexual favours to the same man to feed her habits.
Judge Pat McCartan said he was satisfied she knew the age of the schoolgirl and knew it was not proper in any circumstances to abuse her in this way.
He said because of the age of the girl, and because of the fact that Ms Thomas was a mother herself and because of the nature of the offences he had to impose an immediate prison sentence.
He sentenced her to four years in prison but suspended the last two to give her some hope of rehabilitation.
However he said there had to be a punitive element to the sentence as a lesson to herself and to anyone else who might be minded to engage in this type of activity.
Ms Thomas will be registered as a sex offender.

And what happens to the 60 year old man?!!

Napper Hawkins · 07-11-2011 10:07PM

The clap.

Just read on Examiner:

Judge Patrick McCartan said a tragic subplot to the case was that the man apparently took his own life within three days of the matter coming to garda attention.

fking disgrace..... 4 years is a joke...

MungBean · 07-11-2011 10:11PM

2 years for pimping out a child and by the sounds of it the judge didnt suspend the full sentence because he wanted to send out a message to others who may be "minded to engage in this activity".

She wasnt pissing in a doorway ffs she pimped out a child to be raped. Why does the judge not think that warrants punishment ????

Aoifey! · 07-11-2011 10:13PM

That sentence should be at least doubled.

Arawn · 07-11-2011 10:15PM

Irelands sentancing is really a bad joke.

Bipolar Joe · 07-11-2011 10:15PM

Four years? Four fuckin' years? FOUR FUCKIN' YEARS?

LighterGuy · 07-11-2011 10:17PM

Lets look at the facts. It was a woman doing it. if it was a man... you'd bet your ass he'd get more of a sentence :rolleyes:

In fact, most likely the 60yo man if was alive probably would of gotten more of a sentence than her.

hidinginthebush · 07-11-2011 10:18PM

What a joke of a sentence! :mad:

Sadly, that's very true

ZombieBride · 07-11-2011 10:18PM

And we're surprised by yet another ridiculous sentence. (which is 2 years not 4, remember the last 2 are suspended, so it's only 2 years for child rape)

Human rights my ass.

IHeartChemistry · 07-11-2011 10:21PM

Exactly the reason why we voted for a pay decrease for them :rolleyes: That judge deserves 4 years in prison for giving that sentence!

Jen Pigs Fly · 07-11-2011 10:22PM

That's horrific! 4 years?? That's nothing ... That's a spin in college like.
Should defiantly have gotten at least twice, if not triple that sentence for what she put that poor child through

Maybe, but sentences for serious crimes and violations tend to be too lenient here across the board, no matter what gender.
It's a fair point you raise, but I hope this thread doesn't turn into a "Women have it so much better" one.

J. Marston · 07-11-2011 10:33PM

Two years for pimping out a 15-year-old kid? Seriously, what was going through the judge's mind when he was handing out that sentence? Christ...

ffs Dudess- if it was a man, you agree sentence would be tougher, so female criminals do "have it better"

Its not about women- but the law.... too short a sentence, should be deported.

fook knows, but the girls welfare obviously wasn't.... really outrageous that she got such lenient sentence.

Should go through her life with a fine tooth comb.

I think this sentence IS ridiculously short.

Yes but a big paycut now for the Feckers

El Guapo! · 07-11-2011 11:50PM

Fukn ridiculous.
Why isn't there a list of offences with corresponding sentences for each, and the judge has to give this sentence as a minimum but he has the option of increasing it in different circumstances.

Interesting. So a 15 year old IS a child. I got confused there for awhile for some reason.

Well a minor - not really a child though, in terms of biology and life stage.

Woman given 4 year sentence for sexual exploitation of 15yo girl.
