DANGEROUS CORNISH PAEDOPHILE DAVID SOLOMON CAUGHT WITH BOY COMING OUT OF HIS SHOWER IN CORNWALL
In August 2019, a serious incident involving David Solomon, a known offender from Cornwall, drew significant attention from law enforcement authorities.Solomon, aged 41, was found to have violated a court-imposed order designed to protect minors, leading to his subsequent imprisonment.
The case unfolded when police officers, acting on concerns raised by Solomon’s offender manager, responded to reports of potential breaches of a sexual harm prevention order that had been issued earlier that year.
The order, which was granted by the magistrates’ court in April 2019, specifically prohibited Solomon from having any contact with boys under the age of 16 without parental consent.
It also barred him from allowing minors to enter or remain at his residence in Cornwall.
On the day in question, CCTV footage captured a teenage boy at Solomon’s home, along with another boy.
The following day, the same boy was seen again at Solomon’s residence, this time accompanied by an unidentified child.
These sightings raised alarms among authorities, prompting police to investigate further.
Following the concerns, police officers attended Solomon’s property.
During the search, Solomon consented to a thorough examination of his home.
Inside, officers discovered the same teenage boy, who was in the process of taking a shower.
This discovery was particularly troubling given the restrictions imposed by the sexual harm prevention order.
In police interviews, Solomon claimed he was unaware that the boy was present at his home.
However, investigators established that Solomon possessed a key to his residence, which allowed him to facilitate access for minors despite the restrictions.
The evidence collected, including CCTV footage and the key, led Solomon to admit guilt on three counts of breaching the court order.
At Truro Crown Court, Judge Simon Carr addressed the severity of Solomon’s actions.
He described Solomon as “a very serious risk to any child” and emphasized the troubling nature of the case.
The judge pointed out that the sexual harm prevention order was a rare and significant legal measure, indicating the gravity of Solomon’s previous conduct involving minors.
Judge Carr highlighted that the order was meant to protect children from individuals like Solomon, and his breach of this order—especially with the same boy he was supposed to avoid—was extremely concerning.
The court reviewed medical and pre-sentence reports, which painted a disturbing picture of Solomon’s entrenched interest in children.
The reports also noted his attempts to minimize responsibility and shift blame onto the minors involved, a behavior often associated with individuals who target children.
Expressing his disappointment and concern, Judge Carr stated that Solomon was beginning to realize the gravity of his actions but underscored the importance of accountability.
Ultimately, Solomon was sentenced to two years in prison.
He was also ordered to remain on the sex offenders’ register, and the existing sexual harm prevention order remains in effect to prevent further breaches and protect potential victims in Cornwall.
