• Paul Morris jailed for four years for sexual exploitation of teenager in Tallaght Sexual exploitation of a child · Co. Dublin

  Between July 2009 and July 2010, Paul Morris (58), who had falsely claimed to be a youth worker, sexually exploited a 15-year-old boy at Morris's mobile home in Chianti Park, Tallaght, Dublin. Morris was jailed for eight years in November 2022 for offences committed between May 2010 and April 2011. The victim, now 31, reported Morris to gardaí in November 2023, and Morris was questioned in Mountjoy Prison in September 2024. Morris pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after the DPP accepted that plea instead of ten defilement charges. On 13 May 2026, Judge Orla Crowe imposed a five-year sentence with the final 12 months suspended, meaning four years in jail, to run consecutively to the sentence Morris is already serving.
