| Red Rose Database
Wrexham Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the community of Wrexham, a man identified as Jason David Jones, aged 25, was sentenced to a lengthy prison term of nine years for a heinous sexual assault committed against a young girl aged just five years old. The court proceedings, held at Mold Crown Court, revealed the disturbing details of the incident and the subsequent legal actions taken against Jones.
Jones, who does not have a fixed address but is known to originate from the Wrexham area, was also subjected to lifelong restrictions under the Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO). This order explicitly prohibits him from having any unsupervised contact with children, reflecting the serious concern authorities have regarding his potential risk to the community.
During the court hearing, Judge Niclas Parry emphasized the gravity of the offense, describing Jones as presenting an unacceptable risk to others, especially children. The judge addressed Jones directly, stating, “You will understand that you have admitted an extremely serious offence.” The court was also informed that Jones had warned the young girl not to disclose what had happened, adding to the severity of the crime.
Judge Parry further commented on the long-term impact of the assault, warning that “it will be many years, if ever, before the extent to which you caused psychological harm becomes fully apparent.” The court heard that Jones had been assessed as posing a high risk of harm to children, although his likelihood of re-offending was categorized as medium.
The case came to light after the young girl confided in her family about the assault. Following her disclosure, authorities swiftly arrested Jones. During police interviews, he claimed to be unaware of his motives, stating simply that he “didn’t know why he did it.”
As a result of his conviction, Jones was placed on the sex offender’s register for life, ensuring ongoing monitoring and restrictions. The sentencing underscores the seriousness with which the legal system treats crimes involving the exploitation of children, especially in communities like Wrexham where such incidents deeply disturb the public conscience.
