June 2022 Birmingham Snapchat ‘predator’ plied young girls with alcohol before abusing them A “dangerous” Harborne man used Snapchat to befriend a 15-year-old girl before sexually abusing her and her friend. David Nwosu travelled 30 miles to meet the teen, plying both victims with alcohol while he stayed sober. The 26-year-old, described as a “predator” by police, added the girl on social media in October 2020. Despite already being subject to multiple sexual harm prevention orders, Nwosu asked her to meet him at his Birmingham home. She declined, instead inviting him to a house in Hinckley. Three days later, he travelled to Leicestershire, buying alcohol en-route. On arrival, the victim said he immediately made her feel uncomfortable. Her friend, also aged 15, went to the address a short time later and Nwosu continued to supply them with alcohol. He even left to buy more from the shop – but did not drink any himself. The defendant then engaged in sexual activity with both teenagers before returning to his home in Langford Grove that afternoon. When the mother of one of the victims called Nwosu to confront him, he provided a fake name and age. The matter was reported to police and Nwosu was arrested in December 2020. At Leicester Crown Court, Nwosu pleaded guilty to five counts of breaching a sexual harm prevention order, four counts of sexual activity with a child and one count of sending a communication with intent to cause distress or anxiety. On Friday, June 17, he was sentenced to over six years in prison. He is also subject to an additional 10-year sexual harm prevention order and told he must serve an extended period on licence of 24 months.
