Heartbreak and Justice: After decades of silence, a brave victim has brought her abuser to justice. David Bullock, now 59, was sentenced to two years in prison for the repeated sexual assault of a teenage girl at Cardiff’s National Ice Rink. This horrifying ordeal took place when Bullock was in his 20s, claiming to assist at the rink while “training for the Olympics.”
The victim, attending ice dance lessons, endured unacceptable abuse, including Bullock touching her inappropriately, even under her clothing. Overwhelmed, she told her mother but felt powerless as it seemed to be her word against his.
Years later, the strength to report the assaults led to Bullock’s arrest in 2025. Despite initially denying any connection, he eventually pleaded guilty to seven counts of indecent assault. Previously, Bullock had served time for possessing over 18,000 indecent images of children, revealing a history of disturbing behaviour.
Recorder Greg Bull KC sentenced him to 24 months in prison, highlighting the ongoing danger Bullock poses to children. Alongside the prison term, Bullock received an indefinite restraining order and a 10-year sex offender notification requirement.
This case is a stark reminder of the importance of listening to and supporting survivors. Justice may take time, but it’s never too late to come forward. Let’s stand with survivors, ensuring their voices are heard and abusers are held accountable. Stay safe, and support each other. 💪❤️ #JusticeServed #SupportSurvivors
