IRBY PAEDOPHILE GLYNN DAVIES FOUND GUILTY OF CHILD ABUSE IN LIVERPOOL COURT

In a case that has shocked the community of Irby and the wider Wirral area, Glynn Davies, aged 56, has been convicted of serious child abuse offenses following a detailed trial at Liverpool Crown Court. The proceedings revealed a disturbing history of abuse spanning over a decade, involving two young girls whom Davies targeted during the 1970s and 1980s.

Davies, who resides on The Crescent in Irby, faced multiple charges related to his heinous acts. The jury found him guilty of one count of rape and eleven counts of indecent assault. However, he was acquitted of three additional counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, and another count of indecent assault, indicating that the court did not find sufficient evidence to convict him on those charges.

The court heard that the allegations against Davies came to light after one of his victims confronted him via Facebook in May of the previous year. During this online exchange, Davies responded to her accusations with what was described as a 'heartfelt apology.' This message was part of a broader pattern of interactions that the court examined during the trial. The victim, who was a young girl at the time of the abuse, recounted that Davies had molested her from the age of five or six until she was approximately 11 or 12 years old. She described how he would tell her she was 'special' and force her to perform sexual acts, which she felt unable to report at the time due to fear of disbelief.

The second victim, also a girl, was around 11 or 12 years old when Davies, who was then a secondary school pupil, abused her. She recounted that Davies would encourage her to play games like hide and seek, which were used as a pretext for molestation. She explained that during these games, Davies would make her touch him sexually and engage in acts she described as 'not pleasant.' The victim expressed her concern that she did not report the abuse earlier because she feared Davies might be the father of her child, a suspicion later disproved by DNA testing.

During the trial, the prosecution, led by Charlotte Kenny, highlighted that Davies had initially denied the extent of his involvement, claiming that the interactions with the girls involved mutual exposure and touching that did not go beyond that. Nevertheless, the evidence presented was sufficient for the jury to convict him on the charges of rape and indecent assault.

The court also heard that Davies had attempted to make amends through social media, sending a message to one of his victims that read 'heartfelt apologies.' He admitted to sending the message but insisted it was a vague apology for the acts of exposing himself, denying it was an admission of abuse. The judge ordered that sentencing be postponed until January, and Davies was released on bail pending the final decision.

This case underscores the importance of vigilance and the need for victims to come forward, regardless of the passage of time, to ensure justice is served and such predators are held accountable.
