David Fuller, formerly of Broadclyst near Exeter, has been released from prison and is now living in the coastal town of Dawlish, Devon, after serving a custodial sentence for child sexual abuse.
Fuller appeared for trial at Exeter Crown Court in June 2025, where a jury convicted him of two counts of sexual activity with a child. The court heard that the offences were committed against the young victim during 2023. In an attempt to conceal his behaviour and enforce silence, Fuller purchased jewellery for the child and explicitly instructed her to keep the items hidden from her family.
The abuse was uncovered after the child decided to disclose what had occurred by showing her mother entries recorded within a personal diary on her mobile phone. Devon and Cornwall Police launched an immediate investigation and arrested Fuller. During a search of his possessions, an officer recovered a recent sales receipt from a jeweller inside his wallet. While Fuller conceded under police interview that he had purchased the gifts, he denied any sexual contact had taken place, an account unanimously dismissed by the trial jury.
Under UK legislation, all victims of sexual offences are protected by lifelong statutory anonymity.
The trial judge sentenced Fuller to a determinate term of two years and three months’ imprisonment. Under standard statutory release provisions for determinate sentences of that length, Fuller was required to serve half of his sentence in custody before being released on licence into the community under the supervision of the Probation Service.
Following his release from prison, Fuller relocated to Dawlish. In addition to standard licence conditions, he remains subject to an active 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order designed to restrict his unsupervised access to children, alongside mandatory notification requirements on the Sex Offenders Register for a duration of 10 years.
