A ballet teacher who recorded himself sexually assaulting two girls in a costume storage room has been jailed for seven years. The charges include two counts of sexual assault against an eight-year-old girl and a nine-year-old girl, exploitation of a child, and possession and production of child sexual abuse material. Judge Garavan said Morrison “robbed these young children of their innocence and childhood”, and the girls will never get over this “appalling abuse”. On a device seized from Morrison’s home, gardaí found more than 1,000 images depicting child sexual activity or exposure. The court heard Morrison had a difficult childhood and had been physically, emotionally and sexually abused.
