Child pornography Man Convicted
A court has heard a convicted sex offender who hoarded more than 35,000 child-pornography images and movie files may have been motivated by an anger towards society.
Forty-eight-year-old Adrian Savage of Millward Terrace, Meath Road, Bray, Co Wicklow, who has a masters degree in philosophy, was attending a clinical psychologist when he continued to access the material.
He was also caught by a garda, who had investigated him the previous year, downloading child pornography in an internet cafe.
His offending behaviour has been clinically assessed as “absolutely bizarre” and beyond sexual attraction.
He is to be sentenced later, having pleaded guilty to three charges of possessing child pornography on dates between September 2007 and May 2009.
