- David Griffin, 51, jailed for sexual assault and other offences
- Tributes paid to his victims for their courage in reporting abuse and supporting the investigation
A Melksham man has been jailed for five and a half years today (19/09) after a jury at Swindon Crown Court found him guilty of sexual offences against children.
David Griffin, 51, of Grasmere, Melksham, was found guilty of making indecent photographs of a child, sexual assault on a male, and three counts of voyeurism.
The charges relate to three victims who are all now over 18.
He was also placed on the sex offenders register, in accordance with the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
Detective Sergeant Jen Jeffcoat-Marsh said: “I would like to pay tribute to the bravery of the victims in taking the hugely difficult step of reporting these crimes to us and supporting our investigation into Griffin.
“We recognise how challenging it must have been for the survivors to help bring their abuser to justice.
“Whilst nothing can take away the emotional impact of the abuse that they suffered, I hope that seeing Griffin jailed today brings them some comfort.”
If you have been a victim of abuse, we would urge you to report it as soon as you are able. You will be treated with sensitivity and respect by trained officers.
If you don’t feel ready to talk to the police, other organisations are able to provide support, advice and medical help.
