View answerWritten answers
I propose to take Questions Nos. 169 and 176 together.
There have been twenty four persons charged and sentenced to imprisonment for sex trafficking related offences since 2008. It is not possible for An Garda Síochána to provide information relative to the “average length of the prison sentences handed down in respect of sex trafficking prosecutions since 2008.”
The sentences in respect of persons charged with sex trafficking offences vary in length and include:
- Custodial sentences
- Suspended sentences
and are often accompanied by particular conditions including:
- Post release supervision,
- Subject to the sex offenders register,
- Deportation
- Entry into a Bond of Good Behaviour.
