A child protection charity has condemned the “cruel and horrific” abuse of paedophile rapist Gareth Davis as it urged victims to speak out.
Davis, of Ashridge Street, Runcorn, was described as “depraved, disgusting, despicable’ by a judge on Tuesday as the 43-year-old was jailed for 27 years as part of a life sentence, having pleaded guilty to rape of a child under 13, sexual assault by penetration of a child under 13, and three counts of making indecent images of children, namely 512 images of Categories A, B and C.
Chester Crown Court heard how the National Crime Agency discovered the vile haul contained imagery of abuse that “extreme danger to children” Davis committed himself, including rape of a baby.
