latest first- John Weber jailed for eight years over child sex-abuse material in Limerick Possession · Co. Limerick
John Weber (48), from Limerick, was jailed for eight years at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court on 30 July 2026 after pleading guilty to 14 charges of possession, distribution and production of child sex-abuse material. The material depicted children including a six-month-old baby, an 18-month-old toddler, a six-year-old girl and a five-year-old child. Gardaí were alerted by Weber's counsellor and searched his property in September 2024 and October 2025, finding 111 videos and images on his iPhone and iPad. Weber was charged with one count of possession, four of distribution and nine of production, and was sentenced by Judge Colin Daly to a headline term of 12 years reduced to 10 with the final two suspended, which the latest reports describe as eight years in prison.
