| Red Rose Database
Bury St Edmunds Sexual Abuser
In a case that has shocked the community of Bury St Edmunds, Jamie Wright, a 28-year-old man with no fixed address, has been formally convicted and sentenced for heinous crimes involving the sexual assault of a child. The offences, which spanned over three years from April 2004 to April 2007, were brought to light during a court hearing held at Ipswich Crown Court on a recent Thursday.
Judge John Devaux presided over the case and emphasized the gravity of the crimes committed by Wright. Given the serious nature of the offences, the judge determined that an indefinite prison sentence was the most appropriate form of punishment. This decision was made with the primary aim of safeguarding the public from any potential future harm that Wright might pose.
Wright, who was not residing at a fixed address at the time of sentencing, was informed that his release from prison would only occur once he has been assessed as no longer being a threat to society. This assessment process is expected to take at least four years, but it will be subject to review and can only be initiated after he has served the 91 days he has already spent in custody on remand. The court’s ruling underscores the severity of the case and the ongoing concern for community safety in Bury St Edmunds and beyond.
