A man who raped a teenager and sexually assaulted two girls dating back to the 1990s has been jailed for 15 years.
David Trigg, of Whitchurch, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday 26th June 2026 where he was handed the 15-year sentence following a trial.
The 60-year-old had been found guilty of one count of rape of a female under 16, seven counts of indecent assault on a girl under 14, and one count of sexual assault.
The offences took place in the Malpas area of Cheshire.
One of the complainants in this case contacted police in 2022 to report that Trigg had raped her in the late 1990s.
An investigation was subsequently launched and a further two complainants came forward.
They both reported they had been sexually assaulted by Trigg between the late 1990s and the early 2000s.
Following extensive enquiries into the reports, Trigg was charged and although he denied the offences, he was found guilty following a trial in April 2026.
On top of his custodial sentence, Trigg must sign the Sex Offender Register indefinitely and is subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and a 14-year Restraining Order against all three of the complainants.
DC Kelly Connolley, the investigating officer, said:
“Firstly, I would like to recognise the bravery of the three complainants in reporting what happened to them. This has been a lengthy investigation from reporting the offences to obtaining a conviction.
“The offences date back almost 30 years, and these women have had to carry this on their shoulders for all that time, knowing that their abuser had never faced justice for his vile actions.
“But now he has a long spell of custody ahead of him, and I hope this brings some closure to the complainants.
“I also hope this case demonstrates that you can come forward and report incidents of this nature to police, no matter how long ago the offence took place.”
Please call 101 or visit the Cheshire Police website and report information online.
The complainants were supported throughout the investigation and during the court process by an ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) from RASASC (Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre).
