May 2015 27-year-old paedophile knew girl was 12 but said “it didn’t feel wrong” A well known Newbury athlete has been jailed for a series of child sexual offences. A jury convicted 27-year-old David Fry of inciting a 12-year-old schoolgirl who was in foster care to engage in sexual activity and of inciting her to send indecent images of herself to him. Fry of Green lane, Newbury had already admitted grooming another under-age girl and performing a sex act on her – but he told detectives that he didn’t think he had done anything wrong. The judge said he had no doubt that Fry – A member of Newbury athletics club – was sexually aroused by the young age of his victims. The court heard Fry had sent the 12-year-old schoolgirl a picture of his genitals Fry refused to take the stand and gave his defence on his own behalf. The jury heard Fry had made it clear that he knew how old the girls were – for example by replying to the 12-year-old: “Wow, you’re so young…but I fancy you” Prosecution then told the court that Fry tried to persuade the child to meet him and added: “This defendant made it quite clear that this meeting would involve him having full, penetrative sex with her” In a police interview, Fry said: “I couldn’t help myself, I just got carried away. I was curious how sexually active a 12-year-old girl could be – I guess Im sorry” He continued: “When you go online, you just cant help yourself, whatever the girls age – I just didn’t see it as wrong”
