Jack Wesley, 35, a convicted sex offender with a disturbing history of grooming and exploiting young boys, has been jailed again after breaching court-imposed restrictions. Wesley, who recently moved to Bertelli Place in Feltham from Catford, appeared at Bexley Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to two charges of breaching sex offender notification requirements.
Wesley’s criminal history dates back over a decade, with a record of sexual offences involving minors. In 2012, he was jailed for 18 months after grooming a 14-year-old boy in Essex and performing sexual acts on him in a park. In 2016, he was sentenced to seven years in prison after moving to the West Midlands and pimping out boys aged 13 to 15 to adult men.
In June 2024, Wesley narrowly avoided prison after breaching a court order by befriending a 14-year-old boy he met through a local food bank and discussing the boy’s sexuality with him. The incident was reported to the police after a relative walked in on a video call between Wesley and the boy. Despite this, Wesley was spared a prison sentence due to his role as a carer for his seriously ill mother.
However, Wesley continued to violate court orders. On Thursday, he admitted to breaching sex offender register notification requirements by failing to inform authorities about the creation of a new bank account. 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 has previously gone by the names Robert Bailey and Shaun Williams, was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison for his latest offences. His repeated breaches have raised ongoing concerns about the risk he poses to vulnerable individuals, and the case highlights the importance of enforcing restrictions on convicted sex offenders.
