MAN JAILED FOR CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND VICTIM HARASSMENT
A child molester who triggered his young victim's trauma by messaging her about the abuse years later has been jailed for three and a half years.
Jay Johnson was a teenager when he subjected the girl to sexual abuse, Newcastle Crown Court heard.
After being convicted of groping a second girl, Johnson, now 23, sent his first victim a message asking if she remembered what he had done to her, which prompted her to report it to police.
Johnson, from Alnwick, Northumberland, denied five child sex offences but was found guilty by jurors.
He was given a community order in 2020 for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in 2018, which was initially considered an isolated incident, but later it was revealed he had molested a younger girl.
The offences came to light when Johnson sent a message to the girl about his actions in 2023, breaching a sexual harm prevention order made in 2020, asking if she could "remember what they were doing." The message caused her significant distress, with her reporting it to police, and she expressed fears that she would not have been believed.
The judge described Johnson's attitude as very worrying, noting he lied and made "ridiculous excuses" for sending the message, and assessed him as posing a "high risk" of further sexual offending.
Johnson received a jail sentence of three years for the child sexual offences, plus six months for breaching the order, and was made subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and ordered to sign the sex offender register indefinitely.
