JASON SCREEN FROM GLOUCESTER SENTENCED TO NEARLY FOUR YEARS FOR PREDATORY OFFENSES INVOLVING THREE-YEAR-OLD GIRL

A man identified as Jason Screen, aged 28, hailing from Gloucester, has been sentenced to a prison term of three years and nine months after he was convicted of attempting to persuade a three-year-old girl to perform a sexual act. The court proceedings revealed that Screen admitted to inciting the young child, an act that has been described as profoundly harmful and predatory in nature.

Following his conviction, the court also imposed a lifelong sex offenders' order on Screen, along with mandatory registration as a sex offender. This measure is intended to monitor and restrict his activities to prevent further harm to the community.

The case came to light when the young girl, now older, disclosed the incident several years after it occurred. Her revelation prompted a police investigation, during which authorities uncovered substantial evidence linking Screen to the offending behavior. The evidence collected during the investigation confirmed the allegations and demonstrated the severity of his actions.

Legal representatives and court officials emphasized the deeply damaging impact of Screen’s conduct, describing his behavior as not only predatory but also as having long-lasting implications for the victim. The case underscores the importance of vigilance and timely intervention in protecting vulnerable children from exploitation and abuse.
