February 2012 ‘Wicked’ paedophile abused girl A man who subjected a young girl to years of sexual abuse had previously sexually assaulted children David James Tasker, 66-year-olds of Syston was jailed for a minimum of six years – and will not be released from prison until it has been decided he is no further risk to the public. Judge Simon Hammond said: “It’s likely he won’t ever be released. This is the third time he’s committed sex offences. He’s a wicked predatory sex offender. “He remains a high risk of sexual harm to children, both male and female.” Tasker abused one girl when she was aged between 11 and 16. He admitted two specimen counts of rape – by forcing her to perform a sex act – sexually assaulting her, inciting a child under 13 to engage in sexual activity and two counts of sexual activity with a child. Tasker was arrested last summer after his victim learned of his previous sexual offending In 1965, Tasker was fined for two offences of indecent assault. In 1976, he was convicted of three counts of sexual assault, involving two girls, aged between six and 10, and one of indecently assaulting a seven-year-old boy. For that he was given JUST an 18-month suspended jail sentence, with supervision. “The pre-sentence report states he’s a high risk of re-offending and blames the complainant.” Tasker has shown absolutely no remorse for his actions
