Victim praised after Telford man is jailed for sex offences
Police have praised a victim for coming forward and supporting an investigation which led to a dangerous sex offender from Telford being put behind bars.
David Alan Jones, 30, of Leegomery, pleaded guilty to a number of sex offences, including rape, at Shrewsbury Crown Court on 3 June.
On Thursday 19 September he was sentenced to ten years imprisonment and put on the sex offenders register for life.
The sentence followed an investigation by Telford CID after a woman reported she had been abused over a number of years.
Detective Sergeant Paul Drury, from Telford CID, said: “We understand the courage it takes for victims of sex offences to come forward, especially if they took place some time ago and I would like to praise the victim for coming forward and supporting our investigation which has led to a dangerous sex offender being put behind bars for a considerable amount of time.
“Investigations such as this are often incredibly complex and I’m pleased the work of my team has led to this result, I know they are diligent in their work and will do all they can to ensure victims get justice and the right outcome for them.”
