Epsom Rapist
A care home employee from Surrey, John Jury, aged 50 and residing on Scotts Farm Road, Epsom, has been sentenced to 22 years in prison after being found guilty of abusing three schoolgirls over a span of 13 years. Jury was prompted to face charges after one of his victims identified him on Facebook and contacted the police. During an earlier court hearing, he was convicted of five counts of rape, three counts of sexual touching, and one count of indecent assault. Additionally, Jury received an indeterminate public protection sentence, with a mandatory minimum of 11 years before he can apply for parole.
Surrey Police confirmed that Jury’s crimes occurred between 1998 and 2011, during which he groomed his victims, two of whom were just 11 years old at the time of abuse. Authorities stated that he used threats and persuasive tactics to silence his victims.
When police raided Jury’s home, they discovered manuals about child abuse and novels depicting abused children hidden in his wardrobe. They also found several indecent images of one of the girls saved on his laptop and phone.
Detective Constable David Sprague described Jury as calculating and dangerous, emphasizing the impact of his actions: "His appalling crimes have had a devastating impact on the lives of all three of his victims. It is thanks to their courage and determination that Jury’s predatory behaviour has been stopped, and he will now spend a significant period behind bars."
