76-YEAR-OLD PAEDOPHILE JAILED FOR SEXUAL OFFENCES THAT BEGAN MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO
A paedophile has been jailed for sexual offences against girls that began more than 50 years ago.
George Davey, 76, abused his first victim between 1975 and 1985 and a second girl between 1983 and 1986.
Cambridge Crown Court heard that he sexually abused a third girl between 1995 and 2003, and a fourth victim between 2001 and 2002, and later in 2022.
Davey also sexually assaulted a fifth victim in 1993 and exposed himself to a woman more recently between 2019 and 2020.
It was in December 2022 that Davey's crimes came to light as one of his victims reported that she had been sexually abused by him.
This encouraged others to come forward.
Davey, of Shelthorpe Road, Loughborough, Leicestershire, was jailed at Cambridge Crown Court for 22 years and four months, having pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to: - nine counts of indecency with a child - two counts of attempted rape of a girl under 16 - one count of indecent assault on a girl under 14 - one count of indecent assault - one count of sexual assault on a female; and - one count of exposure.
Det Con Louise Wick, who investigated, said: 'This conviction for historic offences shows that justice is possible no matter how long ago the crimes occurred.' "The sentence reflects the gravity of Davey's predatory abuse and the devastating harm it has caused to his victims." "I would like to thank them for their remarkable courage in coming forward and supporting a prosecution, which has led to Davey being jailed for a very long time." "I hope this result offers some reassurance to the victims and their families as they continue rebuilding their lives."
