George Jackson, the Newcastle PAedophile, a former contestant from Britain’s Got Talent was apprehended by paedophile hunters while attempting to meet an underage girl; however, he still aspires to perform at children’s parties.
George Jackson, 71, an entertainer and former professional wrestler, engaged with an internet persona claiming to be a 15-year-old girl named Jessie from Newcastle.
Jackson, known as The Outlaw during his wrestling career, proposed a meeting with Jessie for “non-penetrative sexual activity,” as presented before Newcastle Crown Court.
However, the pensioner—who aspired to wow judges with his vocal performance on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015—had become ensnared in a scheme orchestrated by the paedophile hunters Dark Justice.
Jackson, who claimed he was the victim of the group, admitted attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child and was given a community order.
At the sentencing hearing, his barrister asked if the sexual harm prevention order he was given could be relaxed to allow him to entertain children, but that was rejected.
When communicating with the decoy profile at the beginning of January, the court heard Jackson posed as a man twenty years younger than his actual age.
Alive to the possibility the profile may not be genuine, he asked whether Jessie could be trusted and was told by the decoy: “I’m not a grass, I hate the pigs”.
Michael Bunch, prosecuting, said: “The defendant identified he was at risk of being arrested because of her age.
“He suggested they could meet up for non-penetrative sexual activity, and as a consequence, an arrangement was made to meet the following day.
“Members of Dark Justice travelled to the defendant’s home area of Washington, having arranged a meeting near a local shop.”
When he turned up, he was challenged by Dark Justice, and police arrived to arrest him.
Mr Bunch said: “He accepted he had been involved in a conversation but suggested he was as much a victim of them as they were a victim of him, suggesting he was directed towards the responses he had given and therefore denied any culpability in that regard.”
Defence barrister John Wilkinson asked if Jackson’s Sexual Harm Prevention Order could be relaxed to allow him to entertain children.
Mr Wilkinson said: “He describes himself as an entertainer; in fact, he is a singer.
“He has been very keen to let me see several handbills, indicating the sort of matters he would like to do, if possible.
“One of those would involve his attendance at children’s parties, singing at children’s parties.”
Mr Wilkinson said parents would be present at such parties, meaning Jackson would not be with them unsupervised.
Judge Robert Adams sentenced Jackson, of Ashgill, Albany, Washington, to a community order for two years with mental health treatment and rehabilitation requirements.
The judge said Jackson must sign the sex offenders register and abide by the Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years.
Judge Adams made it a condition of the order that he has no contact with children without his parents’ permission, who are aware of his conviction and social services.
Judge Adams said: “I would be failing in my public duty if I did not include that. It seems that is precisely the sort of circumstances the court ought to include in the order.”
The judge said the condition was necessary for the “protection of the public”.
Mr Wilkinson said Jackson’s mental health problems, which include bipolar disorder, “had some influence” on his offending behaviour, and he had been sectioned but hopes to be released from hospital soon.
