Paedophile David Gallon Jailed for Ruining Young Lives
David Gallon, also known as David Storey, has been slapped with a lengthy prison sentence after abusing a girl from the age of 12. He subjected his victim to multiple sexual assaults, leaving her traumatised and scared to speak out—until years later, when she finally found the courage to report him.
Victims Speak Out, Jury Sees Through His Lies
In 2018, another brave victim came forward, accusing Gallon of rape. He was arrested but denied all allegations. However, the jury at Newcastle Crown Court didn’t buy his story. They convicted Gallon, 23, of:
- Rape
- Inciting a female child to engage in sexual activity
- Sexual assault of a child under 13 by touching
- Four counts of sexual activity with a child
- And he pleaded guilty to a further offence involving a girl under 16
Victims Reveal Unimaginable Pain
“I am a victim of abuse. Still today I don’t understand why it was me. I ask myself this daily,” said one survivor. “I’m an adult now, but I didn’t get those ‘best years’ everyone talks about. At 12, my dignity was ripped away. It makes me sick and embarrassed.”
“This male took advantage of me, my trust, my naivety and vulnerabilities, leaving me with lasting scars,” added another victim. “This ordeal affects my daily life, my relationships, and my emotions. Simple things now feel like a struggle.”
Justice Served – Gallon Sentenced to Over Five Years
On August 2, Gallon was sentenced to 63 months behind bars. Despite showing zero remorse, he now faces the full consequences of his crimes.
We salute the bravery of these survivors for speaking out against their abuser. Their courage sends a powerful message to anyone suffering in silence: help is available. If you’ve been a victim of sexual assault, do not suffer alone—report it and seek support immediately.
