Sex beast David McCallion jailed at Derry Crown court over four counts of child abuse on a young boy
David McCallion, of Cornshell Fields, Steelstown, was sentenced at Derry Crown Court to a total sentence of 18 months imprisonment, six months of which to be served in custody and 12 months of which is to be served on licence.
He was convicted of two counts of gross indecency with or towards a child and two charges of indecent assault on a male.
The 45-year-old will be required to register as a sex offender for ten years.
Detective Chief Inspector Billy Cross from PSNI’s Public Protection Branch said: “David McCallion carried out a number of child sex offences between 1994 and 1996 against a 10 year old boy, manipulating and controlling his young victim so that he felt unable to speak out.
“I encourage anyone who has been sexually abused to come forward and report it to police, even if it was a long time ago.
“We have trained officers who will treat all victims with sensitivity and respect.
“This case proves that even if a number of years have passed, we can still investigate reports of sexual offences against children and place offenders before the courts so that justice can prevail,” added DCI Cross.
