David Wilson (sex offender)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Nicholas Wilson (born 1984) is a prolific British sex offender.[1][2]

Wilson, a labourer living in Kirstead, King's Lynn, Norfolk, England, preyed on his victims online.[1][2] He obtained many indecent images and videos of boys by pretending to be a teenage girl in order to trick them into sending the images and videos of themselves and other children.[1][2] He blackmailed his victims into sending more extreme images and videos of themselves and in some cases of them sexually abusing other children.[1][2] Wilson was arrested three times by the National Crime Agency before adequate evidence was gathered to prosecute him.[3]

On 23 November 2020 at Ipswich Crown Court, he admitted 96 sexual offences against 51 boys aged between four and 14, which he committed between May 2016 and April 2020.[1][2] On 10 February 2021, Judge Rupert Overbury sentenced Wilson to 25 years in prison and an extended licence period of eight years.[2][4]
