A 21-year-old man from Meopham, Kent, has been jailed for three years and four months after pleading guilty to more than 30 child sex offences, including grooming and inciting girls to perform sexual acts online.
Following his arrest, investigators discovered Davey had been communicating with multiple girls across Kent and elsewhere in the UK, saving sexually explicit images and videos. Evidence of grooming and sexual communication with other minors was also recovered from his devices.
His sentencing included additional offences committed between November 2023 and January 2024, including grooming a 14-year-old girl and breaching a previous SHPO.

Detective Constables Mel Ling and Hayley Hudson-Gool led the investigation and praised the victims’ courage in speaking out.
“His actions have had a damaging impact on their confidence and ability to trust other people,” said DC Ling.
“If any young person is in a similar situation, we urge them to speak to someone they trust and report it. Do not delete any messages—these can be vital in catching offenders.”
Kent Police have urged families to visit their online safety advice pages for guidance on protecting children from online grooming and abuse.
