A former Salford school teacher has been jailed for non-recent child sex offences against a pupil.

Gary Day-Davies, from Tyldesley, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court yesterday (Monday 8 June 2026) for his sentencing after being found guilty of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault by penetration, and one count of sexual assault by touching of a child.

The offences occurred between 2006-09, when the victim was a pupil at a school in Salford that Day-Davies taught at.

The abuse took place both at school and in Day-Davies’ home after he invited the survivor to his house for ‘additional tuition’, before plying them with drugs and alcohol, and then proceeding to sexually abuse her.

The survivor bravely reported her abuse to Greater Manchester Police (GMP) back in 2022, a officers then conducted a thorough investigation.

Throughout the investigation, Day-Davies denied the offences.

When he was on trial, police say he provided little explanation and stated that the charges came as the survivor ‘must have just held a bit of a grudge’ against him.

Following the trial and sentencing, Day-Davies has been jailed for 15 years.

“Day-Davies took advantage of the young age of the survivor to invite her to his home and sexually abuse her,” explained Inspector Dave Ogden, of GMP’s Criminal Investigation Department in Salford. “He further sexually abused the survivor in the library and store cupboard in a classroom.”

Inspector Ogden insisted that ‘time is no barrier’, adding: “No matter how long ago it was, or how old you were at the time, we will listen to you.”
