DOMINIC JACKSON, CAMBRIDGE AND STOCKPORT PAEDOPHILE, MUST PAY DAMAGES FOR CHILD ABUSE
| Red Rose Database
Cambridge Stockport Child Sexual Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the communities of Cambridge and Stockport, a former doctor with a dark history of abuse has agreed to pay damages to a woman he assaulted as a child. Dominic Jackson, now 54, was living in Cambridge at the time of the abuse and has a notorious past linked to both cities.
Jackson was described as 'sick' by a judge at Manchester Crown Court after he admitted to molesting the woman when she was only nine months old. The court heard that the assault was particularly heinous, and Jackson’s actions have left a lasting scar on his victim, who is now 23 years old and cannot be named for legal reasons.
Although Jackson was initially sentenced to 18 months in prison for the assault, he was released after serving just four weeks. The sentence was later reduced to a 12-month term, suspended for two years, following an appeal. Jackson’s history of substance abuse, including alcohol and opium, was brought up during the proceedings, with the court noting that he claimed to have been possessed by the devil at the time of the abuse.
The victim’s mother expressed her anguish over the case, revealing that her daughter had previously attempted to take her own life by slashing her wrists and ingesting 58 paracetamol tablets. She described Jackson as an Oxford-educated man who had left her daughter 'damaged' and emphasized that the settlement was not about the money but about her daughter gaining a sense of justice.
She stated, “The amount of damage he has done to my daughter is horrible. It was not the amount of money, it was just her having a little bit of justice. I say justice, but it was her feeling she did not want him to get off completely scot-free. She suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. She has been battling with this for years. I hope this will give my daughter more closure because she has suffered immensely from what he has done to her.”
Jackson’s residence on Babraham Road in Cambridge is near Netherhall School, and his victim’s mother has called for the implementation of Megan’s Law in the UK. This law, introduced in the United States nine years ago, mandates that authorities inform parents when a convicted sex offender moves into their area. Currently, in the UK, sex offenders are required to register their details with the police and notify them within 14 days of any change of address. However, only certain groups such as headteachers and youth workers are informed of where sex offenders live.
The mother expressed her fears, saying, “He is a recidivist, a highly manipulative, extremely clever man and very plausible to people who trust him. It really worries me that the law does not do enough to protect children from Dominic Jackson.”
Jackson’s criminal history includes an acquittal in March 1999 on 13 counts of rape, buggery, and indecent assault against the same girl. The court was later told that he had admitted to separate charges of abusing her at a younger age in 1984. During the 1980s, Jackson practiced as a general practitioner in the Stockport area of Greater Manchester but retired on health grounds before his trial. The General Medical Council struck him off the medical register in June 2000, effectively ending his medical career.
His case continues to raise concerns about the adequacy of legal protections for children and the transparency of sex offender information in the UK, with calls for legislative changes to better safeguard vulnerable individuals from repeat offenders like Dominic Jackson.
