Two women who were operating a brothel in Newbridge, have been jailed for nine months at Naas District Court yesterday.

The pair, Name Removed, 25, and Name Removed, 20, were living in Address Removed, Newbridge when it was raided on November 18, 2018 last following complaints by locals.

The pair were charged with keeping or running a brothel, and evidence was given to the court by the gardai that the pair were also the prostitutes. Gardai entered the premises using a search warrant having had the premises under surveillance for some time.

At the scene, the women admitted that they were working as prostitutes, offering sexual services for money, and signed statements to that effect.


The court heard that there were no clients at the brothel at the time that gardai raided it. No significant money was found at the scene either.

“Was business that bad?” Judge Desmond Zaidan asked.

“It was early in the night,” Sgt Jacob told the court.

Gardai say the women have not come to any attention since then. One of the pair, Ms Name is currently expecting a child with her partner.

Their solicitor told the court that the women hope to return to their native Romania once the trial is concluded and to avoid bringing any embarrassment to their families. And gardai were satisfied that this was the case.

Their solicitor said that the women had a sum of money available that could be paid to a charity.

But Judge Desmond Zaidan was not inclined to give them this opportunity. “They weren’t forced into this position.

He sentenced the pair to nine months in prison.

Ms Podaru has lodged an appeal and has been released on bail.

An absolute disgrace that custodial sentences are applied here and not where they are justified.

This woman who battered her own child so badly it had broken bones and a skull fracture was spared jail.

I'm ashamed of how the law is enforced in this country.

The law and sentencing here is a complete disgrace. Sometimes you just despair about the whole legal system here.

wow that is a tough sentence and I have seen escorts who shared in the past getting 8 - 12 weeks but this really is crazy but here is where we have a judge who has a zero tolerance on this,
unfortunately for these girls as i seen it many times before they got the wrong judge on the day.

''District Court judge Desmond A Zaidan was born in December 1962 and his early education took place in Lebanon and Sierra Leone. He attended Rockwell College before going to Trinity College Dublin, where he graduated with a BSc and an MA. He later studied at the King's Inns and was called to the bar in 1990.
He is a member of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal.
Judge Zaidan will most definitely be promoted shortly. He has made certain people very happy - e.g. the Garda Commissioner, the gardaí, Frances Fitzgerald, Alan Shatter, Fine Gael ....
Oops! Hope I am not in contempt of Judge Zaidan's court. Desmond can be a little touchy. He once jailed a couple for kissing at the back of the court and gave a man 7 days for clapping in court ''

if that was another judge it would be different maybe 2, 4,8 weeks or suspended even, you know some judges just want to send a message out to others that it wont be tolerated in their county but I CANT believe a judge would be so harsh, its really bad this, poor girls, its not right at all

They really stooped low this time all the same to give these girls jail time. This is a total waste of the Taxpayers money . They could have got even a fine and a wrap on the knuckles.
