Cases
latest first- Man charged over online video threatening Irish babies and children Harassment and harmful communications (intent to cause harm); threatening · Co. Dublin
Benjamin Petre, a 50-year-old man, was charged over an online video allegedly threatening to slice Irish babies and children, which was understood to have originally been posted to TikTok. The alleged offences took place at an unknown location in Dublin, and the charge sheet dates them to 24 May 2024, though this is probably a typo for 2025. Petre was arrested in Rathmiles, Abbeyleix, Co Laois, on Wednesday 28 May and charged the night before the report with intent to cause harm under the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020, and with threatening words intended to provoke a breach of the peace and demonstrating hatred towards the people under the Criminal Justice (Hate Offences) Act 2024. He was remanded in custody after appearing at Portlaoise District Court and is due to appear again by video on 5 June.
