Jack Wesley, 35, a convicted sex offender with a history of grooming and exploiting young boys, has been jailed again after breaching court-ordered restrictions. Wesley, who recently moved to Bertelli Place in Feltham from Catford, was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison at Bexley Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to two counts of breaching sex offender notification requirements.
Wesley has a troubling criminal record stretching back over a decade. In 2012, he was jailed for 18 months after grooming a 14-year-old schoolboy in Essex and performing sexual acts with him in a park. In 2016, he was sentenced to seven years in prison after relocating to the West Midlands, where he was involved in pimping out boys aged between 13 and 15 to adult men.
In June 2024, Wesley narrowly avoided jail after breaching a court order by befriending a 14-year-old boy he met through a local food bank. Wesley had discussed the boy’s sexuality with him, but the inappropriate contact was discovered when a relative walked in on a video call between them and reported the incident to the police. Despite the breach, a judge spared Wesley from prison due to his role as a carer for his seriously ill mother.
Wesley, however, continued to break the law. On Thursday, he admitted to failing to inform authorities about the creation of a new bank account, violating the sex offender register requirements. Initially pleading not guilty, Wesley changed his plea on the day of his trial. Additional charges, including having unsupervised contact with a minor and failing to notify police about a change of address, were dropped.
Wesley, who previously went by the names Robert Bailey and Shaun Williams, will serve his 10-week sentence while authorities continue to monitor his compliance with legal restrictions designed to protect the public from further harm.
