REIGATE MAN JAMIE GILLETT SENTENCED FOR SEXUAL OFFENCES INVOLVING YOUNG GIRLS IN REIGATE

In October 2018, a man from Reigate, identified as Jamie Gillett, was formally sentenced following a comprehensive investigation into a series of serious sexual offences. The case drew significant attention from local authorities and community members, emphasizing the importance of awareness and vigilance regarding grooming and consent among parents and teenagers alike.

Jamie Gillett, who resides on Prices Lane in Reigate, faced multiple charges related to his inappropriate conduct involving young girls. The charges were brought to court after a lengthy investigation that uncovered disturbing details of his actions over several years. During a hearing held in July 2018, Gillett was formally charged with multiple offences, including three counts of engaging in sexual activity with a minor, specifically a girl under the age of 13, as well as sexual assault of a girl aged under 13. Additionally, he was charged with breaching a sexual risk order that had been previously imposed against him.

On October 26, 2018, Gillett appeared before Guildford Crown Court to face his sentencing. The court heard that the offences took place over a period spanning from 2012 to 2016, during which his victims were between 13 and 14 years old. The gravity of his actions was underscored by the court’s decision to impose a custodial sentence of four and a half years, reflecting the serious nature of the crimes committed.

Furthermore, Gillett was subjected to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, which was made indefinite, aiming to prevent any future offences. He was also given an indefinite restraining order against one of his victims, ensuring he remains legally prohibited from contacting or approaching her. As part of his ongoing legal obligations, Gillett will be listed on the sex offenders register for the rest of his life, marking him permanently within the criminal justice system’s registry of offenders. The case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safeguarding vulnerable individuals and the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address and prevent sexual offences within communities like Reigate.
