Ireland, another "woman" sex offender sentanced

The judge seems to be ignoring the fact that they went to Ireland in the first place because it was seen to be a more lucrative place to continue their sex work, and that much of the material was “unique” , ie not seen before by police , which makes me shudder. This is someone whose actions are deliberate and considered.

Did the motion pass? I believe it was yesterday

Saoirse is very impressive. It takes amazing strength to stand up as she did to NUIGSU.

Two really interesting interviews with Saoirse Connolly, so impressed at her. Its a rare person to be so brave and eloquent, even more impressive that shes still only a student.

Good work janeyso

It was the 'Sun'. However that's not important, it was interesting to read. I can't quite get my head around why people do things like that, it's horrendous!

It's good that she isn't in a women's prison.

I understand that the paedophile who raped his small step son got a GRC after being arrested for the crime.
Bruna could apply for one now and be transferred.

omg, buried in there right at the bottom of the article. It's not a woman.
I saw this article the other day and skim read the first few lines and thought omg, a woman, I can't read on.

The Mirror has a much more indepth article and according to them DeSouza is being kept in the Midlands prison which is males only.

"Once contacted by clients, she asked them if they had an “interest” in children.
When some of the punters told her they also liked children, the sicko lied that she “had access” to many of the kids featured in the images and videos.
She also sent images and videos - featuring children between the ages of two and sixteen - even when her customers said they had no interest in them."

I’ve just emailed this to the editor [email protected]

To the Editor,

The article by Fiona Ferguson published on your website

www.google.com/amp/s/www.thejournal.ie/woman-jailed-criminal-court-5392090-Mar2021/%3famp=1

on Thursday 25 March is in breach of the Code of Practice set out by the Press Council of Ireland.

The headline states:
“Woman jailed after being found with thousands of ‘depraved’ child abuse images”.
The article continues to refer to the perpetrator as a woman and uses the pronouns she and her throughout.
Not until the 20th paragraph does the journalist clarify that “she” is a “transgender woman”.

A transgender woman is biologically male and is not a woman. The headline and majority of the article therefore constitute “a significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distorted report or picture” - Principle 1.2 of the Code.

Biological sex is highly relevant when reporting sexual or violent crimes because these are typical of male-pattern criminality, and statistically almost never perpetrated by female people.

When journalists refer to a male person carrying out a typically male act of sexual offending as if it were perpetrated by a female person, it distorts the wider ongoing conversation around male sexual offending which has wider consequences and is not in the public interest.

It is necessary, as per Principle 1.3 of the Code, that you publish a retraction and clarification promptly and with due prominence.

Yours etc.

Well it should be reported by another outlet that isn't so completely anti-women using the right descriptors for this utterly inhumane person.

Why don't they use transwoman in the title or is it click bait for the more extreme notion that a female committed these crimes?

The journal is Ireland's most "woke" news site. They will have been protecting their agenda by obscuring the fact that this was a biological man.

They have a transwoman columnist. She is one of the well known TRA's here.

It is so out of kilter with female pattern criminality/convictions. Where are the alarm bells????

Does anyone know if there are others in prison for different types of offences?

I think that the child rapist was the first one circa mid 2019. It was a parliamentary question and reported in the Law Society Gazette. I didn’t see anything prior to this case. So it’s basically 4 in a very short period and all for violence and/or sexual offences.

Nail on the head.

I refuse to believe it as it never happens. This individual surely doesn’t exist and is merely a figment of our collective imaginations

How many transwomen are in Irish prisons who have not been convicted of either violent, sexual or violent and sexual crimes? Recently there have been 4 reported incarcerations of transwomen, all for crimes in those categories. Does anyone know if there are others in prison for different types of offences?

A nice person! The images were of 2 to 16 year olds bring penetrated or showing their genitals.

I agree with pp that if you don't get to the end of the article you wouldn't know this is a male. Why don't they use transwoman in the title or is it click bait for the more extreme notion that a female committed these crimes?

ismiseere there are very very few female murderers. The vast majority of women are in for nonviolent offences and are themselves more likely to be vulnerable than the general female population.
