Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion
Ms Caroline Counihan:
Unless the victim was underage, in which case it could be prosecuted under the statutes mentioned by Mr. Gubbins earlier like the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act or the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act. There is a range offences there that would capture this kind of activity if it is done in respect of a victim who is underage. The difficulty is with adult victims.
