HULL FOSTER DAD AND CHILD ABUSER JAILED FOR SEX OFFENSES
David Javan, a 67-year-old man, was convicted of multiple serious sexual offenses against two victims over a period of ten years.He pleaded guilty to a total of 24 sexual offenses and was sentenced to 12 years in prison, of which he must serve two-thirds.
The court was told that Javan groomed and sexually assaulted both victims and even bribed one with money and trips to Hull Fair in exchange for sexual acts.
He also blackmailed one victim, threatening to target her family members if she did not comply.
The court heard that Javan had no previous convictions, and his offenses did not relate to any children he cared for as a foster carer in Hull, where he worked as recently as 2013.
Hull City Council confirmed their involvement with police in the investigation and stated that Javan was no longer a foster carer.
The judge described his actions as a severe violation of trust, and a victim expressed feeling 'robbed of her childhood.'
