The British paedophile charged in connection with organising a “mock wedding” to a child in Disneyland Paris is Jacky Jhaj, who was found guilty of sexual activity with two 15-year-olds in 2016, the BBC understands.

Jhaj, 39, has been charged in connection with organising the fake ceremony on Saturday, in which a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl was due to feature as his bride.

He was arrested when police were called on Saturday morning by an actor who said he had been hired by Jhaj to play the father of the bride.

The BBC has previously investigated how Jhaj was able to hire hundreds of children to act as his fawning fans at a fake film premiere in London’s Leicester Square in 2023.

Usually i would question the BBC calling him a pedo before he is even sentenced, but there is just soooo much evidence wtf.

scum like this are what keep me from entirely opposing capital punishment

although, that term is a misnomer: punishment is a tool whose purpose is to teach and reinforce behavioral changes.

This sack of shit will never learn anything. Erasing him would not be for his sake, but for the world’s.

Life sentence is enough

Fairly sure that death is the ultimate reform that 100% guarantees criminals won’t be committing any crime ever again.

True, but that assumes 100% accuracy in convictions.

funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works on 26 Jun 02:59 collapse

and we have, as a society, yet to condemn more guilty than innocent people to the death sentence.

My feeling is that sex offenders should get life, and a relatively comfortable prison life, in exchange for no possibility of parole.

If you know what you are and choose to act on it, no second chances.

This article didn’t make sense to me. Unclear how this guy is funding this weird behavior. This reporting of seemingly-random bizarre events reads like I’m on drugs. I’m not disputing their characterization of the dude as a pedo (he’s convicted of sex with two underage kids), I just feel like the way this is reported seems like watching a post-modern movie where you’re not sure if you understood the plot at the end.

I commented on another post of this that I was lost as well. If it’s a fake wedding, what was the angle? What was to be gained? What was illegal?

WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 26 Jun 02:11 collapse

I imagine it was to manipulate the 9 year old into thinking they were real married.

Was it? If only some journalist would … Idk… Do their job…

But that is at least a reason, thank you.

I read another article about this from the New York Times and I am pretty confused about a lot of this. Mostly- where the Hell is he getting all the money for this? That article mentioned another instance where he hired a bunch of child actors to act like he was a celebrity and fawn over him and they mentioned how much some of the actors in this scheme were getting paid and it would have cost a LOT of money. Another detail- the child and her mother (who was apparently complicit in this scheme) are Ukrainian refugees. It is possible this man has lied to the mother or is otherwise using coercive tactics against her. Anyway, I want to know where this guy got all this money and why he’s not locked up in jail when he has shown himself to be a pedo pervert time and time again.
