In 2018, the Offender Database recorded that 25-year-old Davis Kigozi was jailed for seven years after being caught in the act of sexually abusing a child. Kigozi—who was of no fixed address—preyed on two 13-year-old victims while in relationships with older women known to the children. It was reported that his predatory behaviour spanned different locations across London, involving attacks in Charlton, southeast London, and Colindale, north London, between 2017 and 2018.
The investigation established that Kigozi used manipulation and threats to silence his first victim in Charlton. London’s Metropolitan Police reported that after the 13-year-old girl managed to escape and lock herself in a room, Kigozi threatened to kill himself if she disclosed the assault. The prosecution reported that almost exactly a year later, Kigozi targeted a second child in Colindale; however, the attack was interrupted when the girl’s mother entered the bedroom and discovered Kigozi.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Kigozi attempted to deflect blame by falsely accusing another family member of the abuse. Wood Green Crown Court heard that the investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Child Abuse Investigation Team confirmed Kigozi’s sole responsibility for the “horrific” offences. The investigation established that Kigozi was found guilty of four counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of sexual activity with a child by penetration, with police expressing concerns that he may have targeted other children who have not yet come forward.
Judge-led proceedings concluded on Friday, 31 August 2018, with Kigozi being removed from the community to begin his custodial term. For his actions in Charlton and Colindale, he was handed a seven-year prison sentence. The judge noted that Kigozi’s calculated method of gaining access to children through their female relatives necessitated his lifelong placement on the Sex Offenders Register and the implementation of a strict Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
Status and Statutory Requirements
For the records reported in London, the status of Davis Kigozi as of April 4, 2026, was as follows:
- Custodial Status: SENTENCED 2018 (Custodial term completed; released on licence).

Monitoring and Public Protection
Kigozi is managed as a high-risk registered sex offender within the London area following his release. Due to the nature of his conduct, which involved the systematic grooming of families to gain access to 13-year-old girls, his management is a maximum priority for the local Jigsaw (Sex Offender Management) team. Authorities state that his pattern of “blaming family members” and using emotional blackmail indicates a high level of manipulative risk that requires constant supervision of his personal relationships.
As a registered sex offender for life, then 25-year-old Kigozi’s details are permanently logged on the national police database. Authorities state that his SHPO includes stringent conditions regarding his residency and any contact with women who have children. Any failure to notify police of his movements, any attempt to establish a relationship without full disclosure of his record, or any unauthorized proximity to children in London will result in immediate arrest to ensure the ongoing safety of the public from his demonstrated pattern of predatory sexual violence.
QUESTION – Given that the offender was caught “in the act” by a victim’s mother and had previously silenced a different child through threats, do you believe that “Automatic Life Sentences” should be mandatory for any individual convicted of multiple counts of sexual activity with a child by penetration?
