Is Jay Ferguson Huyton Paedophile living near you? He is looking to rape and abduct a young child. Out and about in the community is a paedophile who has frequently threatened to rape women and children. At just eighteen, Jay Ferguson assembled a terrifying “rape kit” and threatened to kidnap and rape a child in 2017.
Although he spent 22 months inside up, he informed authorities he had a weapon and a child sex abuse film within days of his release.
2020 saw the now 25-year-old Liverpool Road, Huyton offender sentenced to 14 months at HMP Styal.
Jay Ferguson wrote to jail officials stating he intended to use the dating app Tinder to execute a “violent rape” once released. After writing to a female guard declaring he would hunt her down and rape her, he was subsequently punished with a further six months behind bars.
Jay Ferguson was transported to another jail and finally released.
But he broke his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) after “two or three days” and once more was detained.
Michael Stephenson, the prosecutor, claimed Jay Ferguson’s phone showed he had visited two “female-only dating websites”: Zoe and Only Women.
Liverpool Crown Court also heard he broke the rules by contacting his adult niece via Facebook Messenger.
Jay Ferguson spent four months in detention after confessing two SHPO breaches at a March hearing.
His criminal record shows assault and public knife carrying in 2015 while still a young man.
November 2017 saw him confessing to five charges of harmful communication and trying to encourage a kid to have sex.
That came following his assembly of a terrifying package comprising gloves and a balaclava, informing authorities he would kidnap and rape a child.
Jay Ferguson handed cops a teddy and said he got the idea from a “psycho” on the TV show Law & Order: “I hurt the teddy so I don’t hurt kids.”
Having made rape threats to teenagers, children, and the mother of one 15-year-old victim, he was arrested.
Jay Ferguson claimed he knew sexual behaviour with children was unlawful but “just wanted to do it,” “couldn’t help” himself, had every intention of carrying out his “fantasies,” and as soon as he was permitted to live on his own “would abduct and rape a child.”
Police also discovered a letter Jay Ferguson claimed he intended to rape someone accompanied by a step-by-step to-do list.
Jay Ferguson returned to Huyton after being released in August 2019, but within days, police rang to report a guy had given him offensive pictures of youngsters.
Police found he had urged the man to transmit films, discussed child abuse, and shared videos of himself engaged in sex activities.
Jay Ferguson, who claimed to be a “paedophile hunter,” had a video of a girl between eight and ten engaging in a sex act.
After being freed on bail, he entered Huyton Police Station, claiming he had carried a knife since he had been sexually assaulted.
When prosecutors unveiled the letters “indicating his intention to carry out a violent rape on his release” by utilising Tinder, Jay Ferguson was found guilty of possessing an obscene photograph and carrying a blade in January 2020.
Concerning a letter written on February 6, 2020, he was found guilty in August 2020 of malicious communications.
Mr Stephenson claimed it involved threats to a female officer at Styal “to track them and tie them down and attack them with a rape kit”.
Jay Ferguson received a two-year restraining order prohibiting him from Styal and from contacting his victim.
Defending Gerald Baxter claimed the breaches caused “little or no harm or distress” as Ferguson had discussed money with his niece and had not contacted anyone or set a date on the apps.
He said: “He had a challenging upbringing. Personality disorder has a historical background.
Mr Baxter asked the court to spare him jail and mentioned a hostel in Birmingham, from whence Jay Ferguson initially came, with a “strict regime” involving a curfew.
Treatment would be accessible, “which the defendant is anxious to take advantage of,” he said, particularly for drug and alcohol abuse.
Jay Ferguson also intended to refer himself to a local hospital for mental health care, the attorney added.
Judge David Potter questioned how he could “square” that with a psychological examination and pre-sentence report pointing out hazards.
Mr Baxter said, “Perhaps there is a real prospect that the risk might be reduced” if Ferguson sought the treatment.
Judge Potter claimed that two days after his release from prison, he deliberately and flagrantly broke the SHPO twice.
He underlined Jay Ferguson’s criminal record, earlier admissions on his intents and “rape threats towards a female prison officer”.
The court said that the probation service judged Jay Ferguson as having a “very high risk” of reconviction and causing significant damage.
Judge Potter mentioned he also came under “multi-agency public protection arrangements”.
“They assess you as a very high risk of causing serious harm to children, the public and staff that you come into contact with,” he said.
The court remarked, “I accept you have made some efforts to tackle some of the underlying issues in your psychological make-up.”
However, he also observed Jay Ferguson’s actions following his earlier residence at Adelaide House in Kensington.
Judge Potter stated, jailing him for only ten months: “The court has sadly no confidence that you, whether in approved premises or not, will not commit further breaches.”
