James Varian has been jailed for three years. File picture
A Cork man who received a fully suspended term for sending 2,500 sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old boy and having thousands of child abuse images has been jailed for three years after the Court of Appeal found his original sentence was too lenient.
James Varian, aged 32, with an address at Lois na Greine, South Douglas Road, Cork, was found to have 7,781 child pornography images on his mobile phone, with the majority of the files related to prepubescent children under the age of 12.
