David Kuca

David Kuca, an 80-year-old resident of New Road, East Hagbourne, was sentenced at Oxford Crown Court on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, for a series of historical sexual offences against children. The court heard that Kuca had abused one girl in the 1990s and another in the 2010s, involving acts of indecent assault and the creation of indecent material.

Following a trial earlier in the year, a jury found Kuca guilty on three counts of indecent assault on a girl, two counts of assaulting a girl by touching, two counts of making an indecent photo of a child, and one count of causing a child to watch an image of sexual activity. Judge Maria Lamb imposed an 11-year prison sentence, with an additional year on extended licence, emphasising the gravity of the offences that spanned decades.

The case was investigated by Thames Valley Police, who described the abuses as particularly distressing due to their prolonged nature. Kuca's conviction underscores the ongoing efforts to address historical child sex offences in Oxfordshire.
