David Chellapah, a 31-year-old man from London, has been sentenced to ten years in prison for multiple child sexual abuse offences. He was found guilty of 21 charges, including grooming children as young as 12 through social media platforms. Chellapah coerced minors to engage in sexual activities and take explicit photographs and videos. His arrest occurred on October 17, 2022, when police intervened as he was en route to meet a child he had groomed. A subsequent search of his residence revealed a significant volume of indecent images on a USB stick, including those of very young children. Detective Constable Alan Stepkowski-Fellows from the Metropolitan Police underscored the predatory nature of Chellapah's actions and the swift response of law enforcement to prevent further harm. The police collaborated with partners to ensure the protection and support of all victims, utilizing trauma-informed approaches and securing strong digital evidence to minimize the need for victims to testify in court. Chellapah's guilty plea included charges of sexual communication with a child and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity.
