    DAVID WALKLING SENTENCED IN LUDGERSHALL FOR SEX OFFENCES INVOLVING CHILDREN IN SALISBURY

    In a case that has shocked the community of Ludgershall, David Walkling, a 62-year-old resident of Crown Lane, was handed a significant prison sentence by a Salisbury Crown Court judge for a series of disturbing sexual offences involving minors.

    Walkling was convicted on five counts of indecent assault against two young girls, aged 10 and 14. The trial, which took place in September, saw Walkling maintain his innocence on these charges, despite the evidence presented against him. The allegations spanned a period that included recent incidents as late as spring 2007, but notably, four other counts, two of which dated back to the 1980s, were dismissed during the proceedings.

    The charges against Walkling included accusations of inappropriate touching and an incident involving a naked cuddle, which contributed to the severity of his sentencing. The court was informed that these offences had a long-lasting impact on the victims and that the case was taken very seriously.

    During the sentencing hearing in Salisbury, Judge John McNaught addressed the court, revealing that Walkling had previously admitted to accessing child pornography online. It was disclosed that he had on his computer a total of 6,501 images depicting child abuse, along with 928 videos of similar content. This prior guilty plea was considered an aggravating factor in the case.

    Prosecutor Lynne Matthews emphasized the extent of Walkling’s interest in such material, stating, “The defendant admitted interest in this type of material for some five or six years. Investigation revealed the defendant accessed websites such as ‘perverts are us,’ which involved young children.”

    Defense lawyer Tim Evans highlighted Walkling’s previously good character and expressed that his client had shown remorse and had already sought help through the Lucy Faithful Foundation. Evans argued that there were no aggravating features in the case and that the offences were at the lower end of the severity scale. He also pointed out that while Walkling possessed the images, there was no evidence to suggest he had produced, traded, or shared them.

    Judge McNaught acknowledged the seriousness of the offences, noting that they occurred over an extended period and involved some of the most severe categories of images. He also remarked that the fact there were two victims involved made the case even more grave.

    Ultimately, Walkling was sentenced to four years in prison for the indecent assault charges and an additional 12 months for possession of the illegal images. The court ordered that half of his five-year sentence would be served in prison, with the remainder to be served on licence, reflecting the gravity of his crimes and the need for ongoing supervision.
