| Red Rose Database
Newquay Sexual Abuser
In February 2016, Jason Tilley, a 29-year-old man from Newquay, was sentenced to a three-year prison term after a series of disturbing online interactions with two young girls, both aged 13. Tilley’s actions involved repeatedly establishing contact with the minors, engaging in conversations that included sexually explicit messages, and attempting to arrange in-person meetings with the girls. His behavior raised serious concerns about online safety and child protection.
Prior to these incidents, Tilley was already under a sexual offences prevention order, which is designed to restrict and monitor individuals convicted of sexual crimes to prevent further offending. Despite these restrictions, he violated the terms of the order, demonstrating a blatant disregard for the legal measures put in place to protect children. His breaches and the nature of his conduct prompted authorities to seek a more stringent response.
In addition to the breach of the prevention order, Tilley had a history of previous convictions related to sexual offences, which underscored the ongoing risk he posed. His guilty pleas to multiple charges, including grooming and attempting to meet children for sexual purposes, led to his extended sentence and the imposition of a new, more restrictive prevention order. The court’s decision reflected the seriousness of his actions and the need to safeguard vulnerable minors from further harm.
Throughout the proceedings, the court emphasized the importance of protecting children from online predators and highlighted the dangers posed by individuals like Tilley, who exploit digital platforms to target minors. The case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing efforts required by law enforcement and the judicial system to combat online grooming and ensure the safety of young people in communities such as Newquay.
