SOUTH SHIELDS MILITARY PAEDOPHILE JAILED FOR CHILD SEX ASSAULTS

Former South Shields military Paedophile David Stoker was imprisoned for historic child sex assaults.

In the 1990s, David Stoker focused on two schoolgirls separately for his perverted attacks.

Denying four accusations of indecent assault, the 61-year-old, David Stoker, of Delaval Court, South Shields, South Tyneside, was judged guilty by a jury following a Newcastle Crown Court trial earlier this year.

One of the victims stated her ordeal altered the path of her life and described it as “horrific”.

The other reported that her experience was “traumatic” and left her suspicious and “never entirely at ease”.

Mr Recorder Anthony Hawks stated today (Tues) that David Stoker had to sign the sex offenders registry for life after being imprisoned for four years.

“Sexual offences against youngsters can destroy people’s lives and have a terrible impact.

That makes it such a grave and damaging offence.

Recorder Hawks also said that David Stoker, who has no similar convictions, spent time in the service and had mental health problems from his experiences.
