GEORGE JACKSON CAUGHT IN WASHINGTON TRYING TO MEET UNDERAGE GIRL, BUT STILL WANTS TO PERFORM AT KIDS' PARTIES
In a case that has raised serious concerns about the safety of children and the intentions of individuals seeking to exploit them, George Jackson, a 71-year-old entertainer and former professional wrestler from Washington, was caught in a sting operation conducted by paedophile hunters.The incident took place in June 2019, when Jackson was attempting to meet an online profile he believed belonged to a 15-year-old girl from Newcastle, who was actually an undercover decoy from the group Dark Justice.
Jackson, who previously competed on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015 and was known in the wrestling world as The Outlaw, engaged in conversations with the decoy, during which he suggested a meeting for what he described as “non-penetrative sexual activity.” The court heard that Jackson had initially posed as a man twenty years younger than his actual age when communicating with the decoy profile at the start of January.
Despite recognizing the potential danger, Jackson expressed doubts about the authenticity of the profile, asking whether Jessie could be trusted.
The decoy responded with a statement indicating her disdain for law enforcement, saying, “I’m not a grass, I hate the pigs.” Prosecutor Michael Bunch explained that Jackson was aware of the risk of being arrested due to the girl’s age and that he had suggested they meet up the following day for sexual activity that did not involve penetration.
Members of Dark Justice, having identified Jackson’s location in Washington, arranged to meet him near a local shop.
When Jackson arrived at the designated spot, he was confronted by the group, and police officers quickly arrived to arrest him.
During questioning, Jackson claimed he was also a victim of the group’s tactics, asserting that he was directed towards the responses he gave and denying any culpability.
He admitted to engaging in sexual communication but insisted he was not responsible for the content of the conversations.
At the sentencing hearing, Judge Robert Adams sentenced Jackson to a community order for two years, which includes mental health treatment and rehabilitation requirements.
The court also ordered Jackson to sign the sex offenders register and abide by a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) for five years.
The judge emphasized that Jackson was prohibited from having any contact with children without the explicit permission of parents or social services, a condition that effectively prevents him from performing at children’s parties.
In addressing the restrictions, Judge Adams stated, “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 court’s decision underscores the importance of protecting children from potential harm and ensuring that individuals with a history of such conduct are kept under strict supervision to prevent any future offenses.
