Former Isle of Wight Police Officer Convicted of Historic Child Sex Abuse
David Nutton, 60, of St Stephen, St Austell, Cornwall, a former Isle of Wight police officer, has been found guilty of seven counts of indecent assault on a boy under the age of 14.
The offences took place between 15 December 1988 and 31 December 2001. Nutton denied all charges at Portsmouth Crown Court but was convicted on every count by a jury.
He is due to be sentenced at the same court on 7 July 2026.
In 2004, while serving as a Ryde police constable, Nutton was jailed for 18 months for indecently assaulting a boy. He also admitted misusing the Police Criminal Intelligence System and National Computer to tip off a paedophile friend about whether he was under investigation for child sex abuse.
