Melksham Paedo Jailed for Five and a Half Years After Sick Sex Crimes
David Griffin Behind Bars
David Griffin, 51, from Grasmere, Melksham, has been locked up for five and a half years at Swindon Crown Court. A jury found him guilty of horrific sexual offences against children.
Griffin was convicted of making indecent photographs of a child, sexually assaulting a male, and committing three counts of voyeurism.
Victims’ Courage Praised
The charges relate to three victims, all now adults. Detective Sergeant Jen Jeffcoat-Marsh hailed their bravery. She 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.”
Griffin Added to Sex Offenders Register
In line with the Sexual Offences Act 2003, Griffin is now registered as a sex offender for life.
