Description
Timothy Glen Jarrett, 45, of Flaxman Croft, Copmanthorpe, York has been jailed for a total of six years after pleading guilty to a string of child sex offences, exploitation and drug offences.
As well as jail time, Jarrett was made subject to two restraining orders for 10 years to protect the victims.
Our investigation found that between April and June 2024, Jarrett was supplying drugs to teenage girls in exchange for sex or sexual acts, and recording these offences on video or images. He forwarded at least one video to one of the girls.
On one occasion, Jarrett drove one of the girls to his house where he gave her drugs and alcohol, had sex with her and filmed it on his phone.
During the investigation, Jarrett's mobile was seized, where 36 Category A, 27 Category B, and 17 Category C child sexual abuse material were recovered. Jarrett shared two videos of this child sexual abuse material with two of his associates.
Jarrett pleaded guilty to the following offences in August 2025 and was sentenced at York Crown Court on 28 October 2025.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Jenna Hallewell, of North Yorkshire Police's York and Selby Safeguarding Investigation Team, said:
"Jarrett is a predatory offender who has targeted vulnerable girls to abuse for his own sexual gratification. The victims have been very brave in giving evidence that thankfully led to Jarrett pleading guilty and sparing them the experience of appearing in court. Their evidence has led to a sexual predator being taken off the streets.
“We urge anyone who is the victim of sexual abuse to please come forward – no matter when it happened. We have specially trained officers and work with partner agencies who can provide support and access to specialist services.
