Convicted transgender prisoner \u201cBarbie Kardashian\u201d, who, a court heard, posed a \u201csignificant threat\u201d to the general public, has been released from Limerick Prison where she had been serving a sentence for making threats to torture, rape, and kill her mother.<\/p>\n
Kardashian, mid 20s, is to be subject to a two-year post supervision release order previously imposed at Limerick Circuit Court.<\/p>\n
Kardashian, who was born a male named \u201cGabriel Alejandro Gentile\u201d, but who changed name by deed poll and now identifies as female, served two years and six months of a five and a half year sentence of which the final twelve months were suspended.<\/p>\n
A detective garda told Kardashian\u2019s four-day trial in March 2023, that gardai had \u201cgrave concerns\u201d about the defendant\u2019s \u201cmotivation to carry out the threats\u201d against her mother.<\/p>\n
Speaking outside prison today, Kardashian was unrepentant about the threats but insisted she was not a danger to the public. She added she hoped to undergo gender-affirming surgery.<\/p>\n
The trial heard Kardashian has multiple personality disorders and has previously alleged she suffered sexual and physical abuse as a child. She was placed in State care aged 12 under a High Court Special Care Order.<\/p>\n
She was convicted of seven counts of making threats against her mother while living at Coovagh House, a secure residential care facility in Limerick for high-risk youths, in 2020.<\/p>\n
Judge Tom O\u2019Donnell, now retired, described it as \u201cone of the most complex cases\u201d of his career. He noted Kardashian was \u201cunrepentant\u201d about wanting to torture, rape and kill her mother, detailing plans involving boiling water and a screwdriver.<\/p>\n
A probation report cited \u201cmajor concerns\u201d that she was unremorseful and posed a high risk of serious reoffending. Five psychiatrists assessed her, all warning of a \u201creal danger\u201d she could act on her violent fantasies.<\/p>\n
Kardashian has 15 previous convictions, all for violent offences, including sexual assault at the age of 13. Judge O\u2019Donnell said she displayed \u201cnarcissistic tendencies\u201d and a \u201chigh level of venom\u201d towards her mother, while showing a \u201ccomplete lack of remorse\u201d.<\/p>\n
As part of her release conditions, Kardashian has agreed to live at an address approved by garda\u00ed and probation services, notify them of any changes, and disclose new relationships. Any breach could see her returned to prison under a Section 99 order. The judge also warned the defendant that attempts to communicate with their mother and father could trigger the section 99 order.<\/p>\n
Judge O\u2019Donnell warned that State agencies must heed the \u201cstark warnings\u201d in the probation reports, noting Kardashian\u2019s vulnerable background but also his \u201cgrave concerns\u201d about her release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Convicted transgender prisoner \u201cBarbie Kardashian\u201d, who, a court heard, posed a \u201csignificant threat\u201d to the general public, has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55117,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-55116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55116\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
