    I wonder why some of the other people 'stung' by similar groups in the same way are let off, especially by Gardai

    I thought this was going to be about the Secret Producer Twitter yoke.

    I do not know if the UK do remission for good behaviour which reduces sentences but this should send out a warning to anyone using the internet to get sex.

    Something odd afoot there over the years alright re kids' rights in this land.

    That judge Curtin and the expired warrant.

    The Irish college guy Ó Lúbhlaí and the missing tape and transcript of the confession

    etc.

    That is BEFORE we look at RCC cases.

    Brits nailed the case here but they've also had high profile embarrassments with investigations of late.

    Seemingly he was charged on other offenses, blackmailing kids to send pictures amongst others

    Apparently they found a **** load of stuff on his laptop, he was chatting to 15-20 young girls and trying to blackmail them into sending pictures.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Absolute filthy pig. I feel sorry for his family and especially his elderly mother who I’m led to believe is compleley and utterly heartbroken over this.

    Now that the case is done and dusted here's the original sting of 55 year old former RTE producer Kieran Creaven by a group of self-styled pedophile hunters in Leeds.

    Just about to say the same thing. I do feel very sorry for them and the shame that he has brought on them through no fault of their own. I'm sure their lives have changed utterly since he was caught.

    I believe sex offenders are segregated from the rest of the inmates so the rape fantasies probably won't come through.

    I feel sorry for his family, but for the man himself I am delighted with the sentence for this scumbag. It's a pity that if it were here, he would barely get a warning.

    And we'd have absolutely no idea of his identity...

    He's a dirty yoke and all but he didn't actually abuse anyone, thankfully.

    Brilliant how quickly the UK Courts dealt with this case , he would be still out on bail in Ireland

    You can't convict people on what they might do.

    You might pick up a shovel, and cave someone's skull in, but we don't imprison you for it.

    I think it’s very lenient of the judge/courts. Think he should of got more in my opinion.

    People have been convicted on what they might do though, so you can

    Oh I know. What I meant was he didn't physically abuse anyone and that's a bloody good thing. We know he's a grubby, dangerous, predatory f*cker and I'm glad he got caught and nobody was hurt. He looks like he knows he's ruined his life too. Delighted for the fool and I've no sympathy for him. Wouldn't say let's hang him though, that's a step too far.

    Additionally, just after he was caught and his facebook was still active his trips abroad were from countries associated with child sex tourism

    In the article it says that he plead guilty which the judge took into consideration during sentencing. Also something about them running concurrently.

    Why do concurrent sentences exist at all can anyone tell me? It's like a ''commit one crime, get the second one free'' offer. I don't get it. Basically getting away with it.
