A father of four who admitted to sexually abusing and “prostituting” a child has been jailed for seven years.

John Lewis (52) of Foxborough Road, Lucan, Dublin, admitted to having sex with the 16-year-old girl 10 to 20 times.

The Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that the victim signed an alleged “contract” that required her to obey any instructions from Lewis “without hesitation or prejudice” and under the terms in which she was required to perform 128 different sexual acts.

Lewis deposited payments into a bank account for the victim that he received for engaging in sexual activity with other adult men. The court heard evidence of an occasion during which the victim was sexually abused by Lewis and four other men.

Lewis pleaded guilty to charges of desecration of a child and sexual exploitation of a child in unknown locations across the state on October 12, 2018.

He also pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography at his address on October 18, 2018.

The court heard that the criminal conduct occurred between February 2018 and October 2018 and other charges were taken into consideration within this period in sentencing.
